Patients of all age groups with cardiac dysrhythmia with a focus on paroxysmal or chronic atrial fibrillation, patients with spells of loss of consciousness. Performance of non-invasive diagnosis of the cardiac dysrhythmia with resting, exercise and long-term ECG, tilting-table examination, optimization of the drug therapy. If required, electric adjustment of a normal cardiac rhythm with intensive- and intermediate-care monitoring. If required, implantation of a cardiac pacemaker by means of a modern pacemaker surgery and optimum pacemaker after-care. Duration of stay: 1-2 days

Patients with coronary heart disease, myocardial insufficiency, cardiac valvular defects and cardiac dysrhythmia.

Performance of non-invasive and invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as cardiac catheter, interventions and measurement of dysrhythmia. There are available three echocardiography devices, one multi-row CT, one cardiac NMR and two cardiac catheterization laboratories. Duration of stay: 1-2 days

Patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic stenoses of the carotid artery and patients with a proven abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Dilatation of the carotid artery by means of a stent (stent-supported dilatation - PTA - through a catheter), surgical removal of deposits in the carotid artery (thrombo-endarterectomy of the carotid bifurcation), reinforcement of the aortic vascular wall by stent (endovascular by stent graft) and open surgical elimination of aneurysms by prostheses.
Duration of stay: 3-9 days

Patients with coronary heart disease, with acquired and congenital cardiac valvular defects, with bradycardiac and tachycardiac dysrhythmia, with serious insufficiency of the heart as well as patients with diseases of the thoracic aorta or congenital malformations of the heart.

Restoration of the blood flow in the heart muscle by means of grafts from autogenous arteries and veins, with or without the help of the heart-lung machine. Valve replacement and reconstruction with all implants available.
Reconstruction and replacement of the thoracic aorta, correction and symptom treatment of congenital heart defects as well as special rhythmical surgical interventions.
Duration of stay: 7-10 days

Patients with benign or malignant tumours of the cranial base with processes in the medulla oblongata. Patients for secondary treatment after a cranial base trauma. There is performed access through the skull cap and correction of the bony orbital cavity, relief of the ophthalmic nerve, cranial base plasty inside and outside the cerebral membrane and sealing of chronic fistulas of the cerebrospinal liquor, computer-controlled navigation in the brain and electrophysiology of the cerebral nerves at the operating theatre. Two specialized neurosurgical operating theatres completely equipped with microsurgical instruments offer optimum conditions.
Duration of stay: individually very different depending on the degree of severity of the surgery

Patients with all forms of leukaemia and lymphomas (M. Hodkin, NHL), with bronchial carcinomas as well as with tumours in the digestive tract and in the breast. There are performed all types of standard chemotherapy as well as all types of high-dosage chemotherapy followed by transplantation of endogenic or exogenic stem cells (peripheral stem cells, bone marrow).
There is also applied stem cell transplantation by relatives and radio-immunology therapy of B-cell lymphomas in co-operation with nuclear medicine. Own haematological cell diagnostics form the basis for the in-house production and conditioning of stem cells.

Patients with a carcinoma of the prostate in the age of 50 to 80 years, patients with an advanced bladder carcinoma and patients with tumours of the pyelocalyceal system of the renal tissue.

Performance of the following surgical techniques: Open removal of the prostate with uni- or bilateral retention of the nerves and preservation of the ability to control urination as well as special conserving techniques, such as radio-guided surgery, Schildwächter's lymph node concept and optimized pain therapy during the operation. Bladder replacement plasty (cystoplasty) with the help of small bowel and continent urine drainage in men and women after surgical cystectomy in one session. Renal cancer operation through the abdominal region or from the thorax with removal of the tumour and also of the ureter, if required.

Duration of stay: 5-21 days 

Newborn children, infants and children with congenital malformations and acquired diseases in the area of throat, thorax, gastro-intestinal tract, anus, urogenital tract, such as cervical cyst, occlusion of oesophagus, duodenum, anus, malformations of the urethra, retained testis, naevi and tumours.

There are offered all conventional surgical techniques, including modern further developments, thoracic laporoscopic interventions, paediatric endoscopy, gastric tube (PEG), laser therapy of strawberry marks, cystoscopy, endoscopic correction in case of urinary reflux from the bladder into the ureter, permanent portals for infusions. A neonatal and paediatric intensive care unit guarantees child-related professional treatment.

Duration of stay: greatly varying depending on the clinical picture, on average 5 days.
