About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology at University Hospital Muenster

According to Focus magazine, the Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology at the University Hospital Muenster ranks among the top German medical facilities specializing in the treatment of prostate cancer!

The department offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the kidneys, urinary tract, as well as male reproductive organs in children and adults. The specialization covers the treatment of dysfunctions, acute injuries and inflammation, as well as the correction of complex malformations and treatment of cancers of the genitourinary system and male reproductive organs. Thanks to the unique competence of doctors, the department guarantees the highest standards of conservative and surgical treatment of urological pathologies. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Andres Jan Schrader, who, according to the Focus magazine, ranks among the top German urologists.

The special attention is paid to the use of minimally invasive surgical procedures, which contribute to the rapid recovery of patients, minimal pain and risks of postoperative complications. Many operations are performed using the da Vinci surgical system, laser technology. Such interventions are distinguished by high accuracy and the best possible preservation of healthy tissues and nerve endings. The department's surgeons have vast experience in the field of robotic surgery and practice such operations even in complex clinical cases.

Special emphasis should also be maid on the treatment of urological diseases in children. Pediatric urologists mainly deal with the treatment of urinary tract malformations and various diseases of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra and male external reproductive organs in newborns and children. Particular attention is paid to the comprehensive counseling, informing patients and their parents about the necessary diagnostic and therapeutic measures, the benefits of a particular treatment method. The treatment of children is provided in close interdisciplinary cooperation with the experts in the field of pediatrics, pediatric nephrology, pediatric radiology, nuclear medicine, etc. Many interventions for the treatment of urological pathologies in children are carried out on an outpatient basis.

The service range of the department includes:

  • Robotic minimally invasive surgery (da Vinci surgical system)
