Beautiful hospital. There are translators who speak Russian. All organized sensibly! Excellent professors in many areas. Everything is clear and professional. Our family is very pleased.

I felt that I was safe during each of my stays here! Mega-friendly nursing staff who have always been very helpful and responsive every day and night! Doctors are very competent and interested in the patient’s quick recovery. Sometimes I had to wait for the examination, but this will not change my opinion – you are a great team! THANK YOU!!!

Pulmonary embolism
I have been here for 6 days for treating a pulmonary embolism. I passed through intensive therapy, monitoring. I can say that all doctors are very friendly and competent. I felt comfortable. There was nothing to complain about the food.
The only stupid thing is parking, which is quite expensive, and there are not any other options.

Liver cirrhosis
We were satisfied with the stay at the Nordwest hospital. Diagnosis was carried out in full within 5 days. We liked Professor Siegbert Rossol. We are very grateful to the coordinators of the clinic – Svetlana and Tatiana – for the attentive attitude towards my mother, for providing assistance in any questions. I will recommend the Nordwest hospital to my relatives and friends.

Already from the entrance to the clinic, I realized that there is excellent service here. Friendly staff works in all departments. You did not have to wait long for preliminary examinations. Despite the size of this hospital, you do not feel lost. Doctors are in no hurry and are very accurate, the food is also good, the wards in ZOM2 are first class 🙂 I will certainly return to this hospital for treatment at any time.

Everything is organized very cool. I cannot believe that this is all for the taxpayers’ money. But in other hand, it is very expensive. Apparently, a good service costs so much. We came here to do an operation to remove a malignant tumor in our daughter. Were very pleased with the service. It is said that the pediatric oncology department in this clinic is, if not the best, then one of those.

The team of midwives is incredibly well chosen, it consists of younger as well as more experienced midwives, all of whom are highly professional and all of them are very knowledgeable. We have never seen such a good working team as in the delivery room at the University of Cologne! As well, the care was perfect in the neonatal ward! Super good nurses and midwives gave advice: how to breastfeed, how to hold the baby in the arms, do up the baby, and so on.
We are very excited! We highly recommend this hospital!

Thank you to Dr. Kraemer and especially Dr. Stadtler. At no other hospital have we felt so much in good hands. Here they really tried to make an accurate diagnosis. Other hospitals didn’t take the patient’s condition seriously, but here they did. Something was discovered that no one had found before because no effort was made. I have great respect for the doctors and sincere gratitude. The faith to keep fighting was born here. Thank you again.

Dear team at the Obesity Clinic,
I would like to say a huge thank you for the fantastic support on the way to my sleeve gastrectomy surgery. I was fully informed, supported and ultimately had a successful surgery. Dr. Nagel personally accompanied me, helped me make decisions and was always there for me. In addition to being highly competent, I felt seen as a person. The post-operative follow-up was excellent as well. The pain was minimal, thanks to excellent anesthesia, I was back on my feet quickly. It has changed my life for the better. Thank you!

Thanks to Cyber knife treatment, I was able to maintain a normal quality of life even with a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Most of all, I was afraid that after treatment I would have severe complications and I would not be able to lead a normal life. Immediately after Cyber knife therapy, I returned to normal.

I have been treating lymphoma for a long time. I am very glad that I went abroad to Germany. I came across a wonderful hematologist, chemotherapist and not only Dr. Axel Shtang. A very reasonable person. I underwent chemotherapy with him, and I also underwent additional tests and revealed sensitivity to targeted therapy. Here she helped me. Yes, as always, the treatment was difficult, and with nausea and pain, but I went on the mend. And surprisingly, I went into complete remission. I’m happy, but I’m afraid to jinx it. The prognosis of treatment depends on what dose of drugs is given, on their combination. Dr. Axel approached me with a personal touch, deviating from traditional protocols. May God grant him health and prosperity.

According to the reviews, we chose the Asklepios clinic and Dr. Andreas. Everything went great! After the operation, dad recovered quickly, he felt a little worse after radiation, but this also quickly passed. We were lucky that the cancer was detected at an early stage and that doctors such as Asklepios treated the pope.

I have had kidney problems since childhood. When I turned 25, doctors strongly recommended that I remove the kidney and look for a donor to transplant a new one. But in Germany, it turned out that a simple operation was needed to expand one of the channels. The operation was under general anesthesia. After her, two small holes remained on her stomach and back, which are now not to be found.

My husband has cancer. He was treated in Ukraine, but there was no result. We arrived at the Essen clinic, where all the examinations were quickly carried out, according to the results of which therapy was recommended. Although in Ukraine doctors could not find a treatment for Boris, in Germany, on the contrary, it was said that it was even good that the tumor was endocrine-dependent, because it is controlled by special hormonal preparations. To tell the truth, the drugs will need to be taken during the life – once every 4 weeks.
The clinic has a very attentive attitude of all medical staff and the professor himself – the head physician. Patients are monitored at a very high level.

The clinic has a very attentive attitude of all medical staff and the professor himself – the head physician. Patients are monitored at a very high level.

Neurosurgery in Germany: advantages of diagnosis and treatment
Neurosurgery is a surgical branch of medicine, which provides for the surgical treatment of pathologies of the nervous system, brain, and spinal cord. Germany is a country with advanced medical technologies. Therefore, German neurosurgeons are among the most sought-after specialists in patients all over the world.
German neurosurgery clinics are equipped with the latest-generation devices for diagnostics and minimally invasive operations. Low-traumatic interventions include those that can be carried out through punctures of 3-5 mm in diameter. Due to this, healthy tissues are less injured, and healing and rehabilitation are faster than with traditional methods of surgery.
Foreign patients have access to the most modern medical technologies that are not yet used in other countries. Therefore, residents of the USA, England, and Kazakhstan often come to German clinics.
What kind of diagnostics is carried out in neurosurgical clinics in Germany?
Accurate diagnostics allows German doctors to select the optimal treatment and surgery protocol for patients of all age groups. The main research methods include:
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
positron emission tomography combined with MRI or CT;
electroencephalogram (EEG);
neurosonography;
Doppler scanning of blood vessels;
tests for neurological diseases;
blood tests.
Depending on the patient’s state and the presence of chronic diseases, doctors may prescribe additional examinations. This is necessary to eliminate risks during surgery and to correct therapy throughout the entire period of treatment.
For which neurosurgical operations is it worth coming to Germany?
Tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) are malignant and benign. Most often, they affect the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and spinal cord. Surgical interventions in these areas must be performed with high precision. For the treatment of such complex pathologies, it is important to apply not only to a qualified neurosurgeon, but also to receive a comprehensive examination. For this, German clinics provide for the participation of a multidisciplinary team of doctors.
Foreign patients most often turn to German specialists for:
removal of pituitary adenoma;
hemorrhagic stroke surgery;
treatment of arteriovenous malformations;
surgical treatment of hydrocephalus, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease;
elimination of consequences of injuries to the peripheral nervous system;
removal of spinal neoplasms;
treatment of eosinophilic granuloma of the spine;
surgery for injuries to the bones of the skull and spine;
removal of a hernia with replacement of the intervertebral disc.
Examples of neurosurgical operations.
German neurosurgeons perform minimally invasive interventions according to indications. For example, the removal of a pituitary adenoma is carried out transnasally (through the nose) without extensive incisions.
As palliative care, German doctors perform multiple subpial incisions. This prevents the spread of seizures in functionally significant areas of the cerebral cortex. This procedure alleviates the patient’s condition in the most severe forms of epilepsy.
Small protrusions can be removed by a neurosurgeon with a special laser. For large hernias, doctors perform percutaneous endoscopic discectomy through a puncture up to 4 mm. This medical approach provides less blood loss and reduces the risk of secondary infection.
Expanded Areas of Neurosurgery in Germany
The material and technical base of German clinics allows the creation of units in various areas of neurosurgery. The assistance of highly specialized doctors makes the treatment process more effective.
Vascular Neurosurgery
In the departments of vascular and endovascular neurosurgery, diagnostics, therapy, and prevention of disorders of the blood supply to the brain are carried out. These centers are visited by patients with diseases of the blood vessels around and inside the brain, arteriovenous malformations, and aneurysms.
Stereotactic neurosurgery
In the departments of stereotactic neurosurgery, a unique treatment of structures where conventional surgical access is impossible is carried out. Doctors use a three-dimensional coordinate system, which ensures maximum accuracy of exposure. This sparing procedure allows to study the structures of the brain and treat diseases of the nervous system.
Oncological neurosurgery
The departments of neurooncology treat malignant tumors of the brain and spinal cord. The work of specialists is based on interactions between a neurooncologist, an oncologist, a neurosurgeon, and a radiologist. Patients who have been diagnosed with cancer in the head, neck, or spine most often address to these departments.
German doctors complement the surgical treatment of tumors with modern anticancer therapy. In special cases, genetic engineering can be used when working with a patient’s DNA.
Pediatric Neurosurgery in Germany
Departments of pediatric neurosurgery in Germany are focused on patients under 18 years of age. Narrow-profile specialists carry out surgical treatment of the smallest structures of the child’s body. Hospitals are equipped with modern surgical equipment and monitoring systems of the latest generations.
Most often, foreigners bring children to Germany for the treatment of:
tumors of the brain and spinal cord of various etiologies;
craniostenosis;
traumatic brain injury;
post-traumatic hematomas;
congenital hydrocephalus;
severe epilepsy (including West’s syndrome);
pathologies of CNS development;
back Bifida (spina bifida).
In Germany, in the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery, doctors perform a hemispherectomy, the removal of the epileptoid zone in part of the cerebral hemisphere. The remaining half of the brain can compensate for some of the functions lost when the other part was removed. According to the Hemispherectomy Foundation, this type of surgery is most effective in children with severe epilepsy.
According to the American Epilepsy Foundation, some types of surgical treatment of epilepsy can lead to the disappearance of seizures and improve the quality of life in 80% of patients with a drug-resistant form of the disease.
Benefits of German Neurosurgery
Doctors. A neurosurgeon in Germany is a specialist to whom the country’s Ministry of Health places high demands. This applies to a long period of study, long-term internships, and accreditation. German doctors constantly improve their skills and receive certificates from manufacturers of medical equipment. Therefore, the neurosurgeons of German clinics are advanced specialists who introduce the latest medical developments into their practice.
The experience of a specialist in the field of neurosurgery in Germany is formed as follows: from 4 years of postgraduate practice, from 7 years or more internships in the clinic. At the same time, young neurosurgeons take part in clinical trials. Thus, the preparation lasts for about 15 years before the specialist starts independent practice.
Medical equipment. The equipment of the clinics makes German neurosurgery advanced. All conditions are created in the departments of neurosurgery for examinations and the most complex operations in adults and children.
Visualization methods include:
intraoperative microscopes help doctors perform high-precision surgical interventions on the smallest structures of the nervous system;
Contrast agents for injection into the bloodstream or an organ can detect all anomalies in a CT or MRI study.
Modern neuroimaging methods contribute to an accurate diagnosis in patients with metastases, tumors of different sizes, or ischemic foci in the head. This is important for the treatment of diseases such as:
occlusion of aneurysms;
chronic cerebral ischemia;
rupture of aortic aneurysm;
degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the spine.
Neurosurgical methods of treatment:
endarterectomy is a removal of a plaque in atherosclerosis;
shunting is a restoration of blood flow in the brain;
clipping is an installation of a special clip on a damaged vessel in the skull area;
endovascular embolization is an operation to close the aneurysm to eliminate the risk of its rupture;
callosotomy is a resection of the brain, for example, in the case of epilepsy;
DBS – stimulation of the deep parts of the brain with a special electrode;
VNS therapy is a vagus nerve stimulation to complement therapy for epilepsy.
The best neurosurgeons in Germany can combine techniques to achieve the best result. The treatment program is selected individually for each case.
Neurosurgery in Germany: prices
The cost of treatment in German neurosurgical clinics may vary. It depends on the popularity of the hospital, the status of doctors, and the complex of diagnostic and surgical measures. For example, a consultation with a neurosurgeon in Berlin will cost an average of $400-600. Getting a second opinion from a doctor is from $370.
Neurosurgery in Germany at a cost includes the services of nurses and the length of the patient’s stay in the hospital. Additional expenses include food and medicines.
