Outpatient surgery

Welcome to our outpatient surgery area. Outpatient surgery offers you numerous advantages, including faster recovery at home, early mobilisation and a lower risk of infection.

Our spectrum covers many specialist areas. Our daily work is characterised by our high standards of the greatest possible patient safety, science-based medical treatment quality and personal attention.

Facilities

We have a total of four state-of-the-art, air-conditioned operating rooms, three preparation rooms, an air-conditioned recovery room and a separate waiting area in the outpatient operating area.

VR goggles help to reduce anxiety before operations, distract patients with relaxation and support them in preparing for the procedure.

We also offer patients who are travelling a long way to the clinic overnight accommodation directly opposite.

Medical information and preparation

During the specialist consultation hours, your attending doctor will inform you in detail about the planned outpatient procedure - including the procedure, anaesthetic procedure and aftercare.

Important for the time after surgery

Please note:

  • An accompanying person is mandatory for the journey home after the operation.
    For medical and legal reasons, you are not allowed to drive yourself after anaesthesia or sedation - not even on public transport without an escort.
  • Make sure that you are cared for at home for the first 24 hours after the operation.
    An adult carer should be available at all times during this time and provide support if necessary.

Safety, quality & patient-orientation

Checklists have long been used in aviation to increase safety in the air. As in the cockpit, checklists are now also used in operating rooms to increase patient safety.

Patient wristbands are used for error-free and safe identification of our patients.

Patients are given their own lockable and transportable locker on the day of the operation.

Interprofessional team

Surgeons, anaesthetists, surgical assistants, nursing staff and medical assistants work closely together in the area of outpatient surgery. This interprofessional collaboration ensures that all procedures are carried out with the utmost care and in accordance with current medical guidelines.
