The Da Vinci robot is increasingly being used in developed countries to perform stomach surgeries. With the help of this surgical system, surgeons can perform minimally invasive resection of the stomach (partial surgical removal of the organ) or gastrectomy (total surgical removal of the stomach). 

Robotic assisted technology is the latest breakthrough in neurosurgery. Robotic Surgery Assistance or ROSA as it is commonly called, is now being used at the University clinic in Frankfurt, Germany. The advantages of using robotic surgery is minimally invasive, less pain, small incisions, reduced blood loss, quick recovery ...

Cell therapy is one of the rapidly developing and novel methods for the treatment of diverse diseases. It is based on the use of artificially collected pluripotent cells or products of their cultivation. Until recently, cell therapy was not widespread in the clinical practice. The reason was the high cost of the procedure itself and lack of information about its long-term results.

According to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, more than 1.9 million new cancer cases and more than 60,000 cancer deaths were predicted in 2023 in the U.S. alone. In this article, we embark on a journey to explore the potential of microwave tumor ablation as a beacon of hope for cancer patients.

More than 7,000 Da Vinci robotic systems are available worldwide. Robot-assisted surgery is most commonly used in urology and gynecology. It has also become widespread in colorectal surgery and in the treatment of intestinal diseases, but it has not yet become the standard treatment for small bowel pathologies.

Gallbladder cancer is a rare but severe malignant disease, most cases of which are diagnosed at an inoperable stage. You can undergo your diagnosis and treatment for this disease in Germany. Even with inoperable cancer, long-term control of tumor growth can be achieved using radiation therapy and medications.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of malignant tumours. It is often treated by surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. However, on condition of big amount of metastases the only thing that remains is to oppress the growth of numerous daughter  tumours in the body with drugs.

A few years ago, patients who lost their vision due to the degeneration of the retina did not have any hope to restore their vision. Luckily, medical science has progressed significantly further and can now offer a real chance to get partial vision for such patients. Argus II retinal prosthesis system was invented in Germany.
