Urology

The Gemeinschaftskrankenhaus is the only anthoposophically-orientated hospital in Germany with a specialist Department of Urology.
Urology deals with diagnosis and treatment of kidney, bladder, urinary tract and prostate disease, and diseases specifically affecting the male genitals.
The Department of Urology is also responsible for inpatient neurological care of paraplegics.

Surgery:
Minimally-invasive urology (endoscopy, video-assisted surgery):

  • TUR-Prostate (transurethral resection of the prostate): endoscopic removal of benign prostate tissue through the urethra.
  • TUR-Bladder (transurethral resection of bladder tumour): endoscopic removal of bladder tumours through the urethra.
  • URS of the ureter (Ureteroscopy): endoscopy of the urinary ducts e.g. for removal of urinal stones. Also here we are able to use flexible devices organs for organ protection.

Tumour surgery
Modern, standardized tumour surgery for the urogenital tract (kidneys, bladder, ureter and testicles).
Radical resection of kidney tumours.

HIFU treatment for prostate cancer
The advantages of none-invasive treatment become apparent with HIFU: it is locally confined, takes place in a single session, can be repeated if necessary, requires only a short hospital stay and has a low complication rate.
HIFU treatment is recommended for patients with locally confined cancer (Level T1-T2) for whom a prostatectomy is not an option due to age, overall physical health or another disease. It is also an alternative for patients who want to avoid open surgery.
Furthermore, patients with localized recurrences after radiation therapy can be treated with HIFU.

Children’s Urology

  • Treatment of phimosis
  • Hydrocele in children
  • Loin and testicle surgery

Outpatient urology surgery:

An initial consultation in the urology outpatient clinic is required in order to plan surgery and anaesthesia.

By appointment we carry out routine procedures such circumcision, sterilisation, urethral widening and standardized transrectal ultrasound prostate biopsies for diagnosis of prostrate cancer.
