The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Sabine Kliesch.
According to the Focus magazine, the Chief Physician of the department, Prof. Kliesch, ranks among the top German specialists in the field of andrology.
In addition to delayed puberty and congenital forms of hormonal disorders, the department treats all forms of decreased gonad function (hypogonadism), including age-related hypogonadism. The department also specializes in all forms of reproductive disorders, which are treated using both conservative and surgical means, as well as assisted reproductive techniques. All the modern methods are available for the surgical treatment, including microsurgical operations to restore reproductive function, testicular biopsy (TESE), or microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration (MESA). The department integrates the IVF Laboratory, equipped with the state-of-art equipment. This allows the specialists of the department to perform an optimal treatment even in the most severe cases of reproductive function disorders in men.
Another focus of the department is oncological andrology. Special attention is paid to testicular tumors, which are often associated with fertility disorders and/or hormonal changes. The department has at its disposal its own cryobank, thanks to which the patients can cryopreserve and store their sperms and testicular tissues. The specialists of the department have an outstanding expertise in the treatment of oncological testicular diseases. The Chief Physician of the department, Prof. Kliesch, is the Board Member of the interdisciplinary German Working Group on Testicular Tumors, as well as the Member of the European Working Group on Testicular Tumors, which are constantly improving therapy recommendations.
