The Hernia Center was awarded with a quality mark “Quality-assured hernia surgery” by the German Hernia Society. Each patient is provided with the best surgical technique corresponding to the latest medical achievements.
Through the use of 3-D technology in the process of laparoscopy, the Hernia Center has the latest technology in the field of endoscopic surgery and applies it for the treatment of hernia diseases every day.
