Particularities of surgery in Germany
Germany offers one of the most effective and, at the same time, safest surgery options than most other countries in the world. This is evidenced by objective statistical data that reflect a superior quality workmanship by German surgeons.
The particularities of surgery in Germany include the use of advanced technologies and the latest achievements of medicine in the war against serious diseases.
- Endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery. Germany tends to give preference to minimally invasive surgical techniques. There is used video endoscopy equipment with which one can make all the necessary manipulations through small incisions.
- Robotic surgery. It is an expensive but very effective surgical technique. The hands of even the most experienced surgeon cannot perform such a precise action as that by a man-controlled machine with a remote control. Robotic surgery is much safer for the patient. The healthy tissues are less affected and this surgery is far more accurate, making thin and even incisions possible. Thus, both the risk of complications and the period of postoperative rehabilitation are reduced.
- The latest prosthesis. Germany uses the latest, safest, most functional devices to implant them in the human body. These include mechanical joints, prosthesis of blood vessels, heart valves, fragments of the spine and even artificial ocular organs!
- The latest surgical techniques. Germany uses the most advanced surgical techniques. The country performs many operations, which are not available in most countries, since they require expensive equipment and doctors with the necessary knowledge, skills and experience.
- Combination of surgery with other treatments. Many surgical interventions increase their effectiveness in combination with other innovative treatments. This is particularly the case for oncological diseases. Germany uses therapeutic techniques that significantly reduce the risk of cancer recurrence after surgery.
Advantages of performing surgery in Germany
Operations are performed in any country of the world. Nevertheless, surgical interventions in Germany offer a number of advantages, namely:
- Lower intraoperative mortality rate. Any surgical intervention carries a risk for patient’s life. The mortality rates during the surgery vary significantly from country to country. Due to highly qualified doctors and good equipment at hospitals, mortality rates are low in Germany.
- Less risk of complications after surgery. Through the use of the latest surgical techniques, high quality supplies, as well as state-of-the-art medical equipment, the risk of complications (bleeding, infection, nerve damage) is minimized.
- Less postoperative pain. The use of high-tech, sparing surgical interventions and effective anaesthesia contribute to patient’s easier tolerance of the early postoperative period.
- Rapid healing of postoperative wounds. In Germany doctors try to perform surgery that results in minimal tissue damage. The main reasons for a rapid recovery of the patient after surgical intervention are very thin, short length incisions, high quality suture material and an appropriate postoperative care of the wound.
- Shorter rehabilitation period. German specialists pays particular attention to providing the appropriate rehabilitation of the patient. This kind of care is missing in third world countries. The procedures and medical manipulations that doctors carry out after surgery allow not only a speedy recovery after the intervention, but also minimises the risk of residual events.
- Less negative consequences after surgery. Some surgical procedures carry certain risks of organ dysfunction. For example, neurosurgical operations can cause a neurological deficit. Surgery on the joints or other structures of the musculoskeletal system can cause an incomplete recovery of mobility. The surgical interventions on cavities often cause adhesions. Through the use of the most progressive surgical techniques, these risks are minimized in Germany.
- Better aesthetic effect. German doctors try to use minimally invasive surgery. The incisions are small. The surgeon tries to make them in the areas of the natural skin folds and/or with access through the mucous membranes. As a result, there are no visible scars at all or they are small.
