About the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at University Hospital Halle (Saale)

The Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) covers the entire range of top-class medical services in this field. Special attention is paid to minimally invasive operations, which, along with the optimal functional result, ensure minimal traumatization, fast recovery and the absence of a cosmetic defect.
