ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES USED IN THE NUREMBERG CLINIC

Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical system removes the malignant tumors most accurately (in oncosurgery), as it allows access to difficult-to-reach surgical sites. Increases the success of the operation, reduces blood loss and the need for blood transfusion, reduces the risk of infection and postoperative complications to a minimum, as it eliminates large incisions. Angiographic systems Siemens Artis zee - has the highest x-ray image quality that allows viewing the smallest vascular structures and stents without increasing the radiation dose . Laser surgical system Greenlight - is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate adenoma) in the Nuremberg clinic. This device allows them to quickly reduce concomitant inflammation of the tissues of prostate gland and bladder, eliminate constipation, eliminate urine stasis, ease urination and eliminate the likelihood of the urinary tract infection.

Features of the Clinic

CANCER TREATMENT IN THE NURNBERG CLINIC

Each year, about 6,000 patients from all over the world contact the Cancer Department of Nürnberg Hospital. It treats all types of cancers 1-4 stages with the help of advanced technologies and innovative drugs. About 20 years ago, the Cancer department opened its own training center, which conducts regular research in the field of oncology and improves existing treatment methods. Here, for the diagnostics and treatment of cancer, they use: 64-slice computed tomography scanner — the diagnostic accuracy of this scanner is much higher than that of the 16-slice tomograph, and the patient's radiation dose is much lower. This allows them to detect the initial formation of tumors and metastasis, internal damage to the joints and hidden fractures, end of the vessels. Intrabeam (system of intraoperative radiotherapy IORT) - allowing them to effectively destroy the malignant cells that remained at the site of complete or partial removal of the tumor and significantly reduce the likelihood of cancer recurrence. Advanced positron emission tomography (PET-CT) - help detect tumors up to 2 mm in size due to the most detailed and accurate examination of human organs and tissues. This is the only device in the world that diagnoses cancer at the stage zero.

 

GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER TREATMENT CENTER IN THE NURNBERG CLINIC

Nürnberg Center specializes in:

• Innovative methods of minimally invasive and open interventions;
• Laser surgery;
• Surgical treatment of urinary incontinence;
• Pelvic floor surgery;
• Gynecological oncology and endocrinology;
• Breast cancer and plastic surgery;
• Drug therapy for cancer.

The department operates according to the international quality standard DIN EN ISO. At the end of 2012, the Center received a certificate from the German Cancer Society (DKG). The specialists in the women's cancer treatment department have extensive experience in treating the most common types of cancer in women - breast cancer, cervical cancer and ovarian cancer. Here they practice a multidisciplinary approach, which increases the effectiveness of treatment, since it takes into account all the individual characteristics of the patient’s body and the qualified opinions of the best German doctors from related specialties.

The Center for Gynecology at the Nuremberg Clinic has been lead by a leading specialist, Prof. Dr. Cosima Brucker since 2005. Dr. Brucker is a doctor of the highest category, has vast experience in large international hospitals and is very active in research and development. It is engaged in the treatment of malignant tumors, the treatment of ovarian cysts, myomas and endometriosis. Brucker is doing everything possible so that her patients can become pregnant in the future and carry out a healthy baby. Therefore, she performs most gynecological operations using minimally invasive surgical techniques.

 

NEUROSURGERY CENTER OF NURNBERG CLINIC

This department specializes in the treatment of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, diseases of the brain and spinal cord.

The Nürnberg Center is headed by Prof. Dr. Steiner. Treatment technologies provide for continuous improvement of the quality of treatment and minimization of postoperative complications.

Surgical interventions are carried out on the most important functional areas of the brain, in particular, at the centers that are responsible for the coordination of motility. To minimize damage to adjacent tissues during neurosurgical operations and their maximum success, specialists use intraoperative neuronavigation.

MRI navigation helps to identify functionally important parts of the brain, examine the blood supply in the operated part. Intraoperative fluorescence navigation allows them to define the boundaries of the tumor, so as not to damage healthy tissues and organs.

To visualize tumors using a special contrast agent. For the treatment of functional disorders and brain neoplasms, Nuremberg Clinic also conducts stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

This method of radiation therapy provides a minimal effect on healthy tissues, as it ensures the delivery of large doses of radiation directly to the site of tumor localization (with an accuracy of 1-2 mm). During the procedure, the maximum number of cancer cells is destroyed by the high dose of radiation.

Stereotactic radiosurgery is especially effective for the treatment of: benign and malignant, primary and metastatic, single and multiple brain tumors; residual cancer cells after surgery; intracranial and orbital neoplasms, as well as brain stem tumors; arteriovenous malformations (abnormal plexuses of blood vessels that interfere with blood circulation in the brain and can cause hemorrhage).
