About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology at the University Hospital Rechts der Isar Munich provides high-precision diagnostics and effective treatment of the full range of diseases of the kidneys, urinary tract, bladder, prostate, testicles and their appendages, vas deferens and penis. The treatment of urologic cancers is of particular interest. The focus of pediatric urologists is on young patients with congenital and acquired malformations of the genitourinary system. The department has its in-house advanced operating rooms, an X-ray unit, and two stations with 57 beds. The high quality of medical care is confirmed by many prestigious certificates, including the DEKRA certificate and the certificate of the European Board of Urology. As one of the best urologic facilities in Germany and a leading urology clinic in Munich, the department has been offering patients the daVinci robot-assisted surgery since 2009, which has many advantages for patients: minimal pain, speedy recovery, the highest level of precision compared to conventional surgical interventions.
The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Jürgen Gschwend, who has been applying his professional skills for more than 25 years to ensure that patients with diseases of the urinary system and male reproductive system receive the best medical care. The urologist is recognized as one of the leading specialists in treating prostate cancer, kidney, and bladder tumors in Germany and has excellent qualifications in minimally invasive and da Vinci robot-assisted surgery. For many years, Prof. Gschwend has been a member of the Working Group on Urological Oncology of the German Cancer Society (DKG) and regularly works on the preparation of his scientific publications, of which he already has more than 340.
The department's priority clinical focus is on the treatment of malignant tumors of the genitourinary system. The unique experience of the department's specialists allows for successful treatment of prostate cancer, bladder cancer, testicular tumors, kidney and adrenal cancer, as well as penile cancer. If the patient is diagnosed with cancer, the department's doctors jointly study the diagnostic results and develop a treatment regimen. A tumor board gathers not only urologists, but also oncologists, nephrologists, radiation therapists, radiologists, gynecologists and other specialists. In most cases, the basis of the therapeutic protocol is surgery, chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy. The department's specialists perform surgical interventions using sparing laparoscopic or minimally invasive robot-assisted techniques.
Robot-assisted surgery using the da Vinci device has been performed in the department since 2009, so doctors have a wealth of experience and excellent clinical data in this area. The range of robotic surgical procedures includes organ-preserving removal of kidney tumors in renal cell carcinoma, radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer with the preservation of regional nerve endings and blood vessels, removal of retroperitoneal lymph nodes in testicular tumors, renal pelvis plastic repair in case of its stenosis and correction of ureteral stenosis. Such interventions allow the patient to avoid severe operative and postoperative risks typical of classical open surgery, as well as provide minimal pain and a good aesthetic result.
The treatment of kidney stone disease, kidney cysts, urinary incontinence in women and men is also of particular interest to the department's medical team. Whenever possible, preference is given to conservative therapeutic methods, but if they do not lead to the desired result, then specialists resort to surgical interventions. At the same time, almost all operations are performed using sparing minimally invasive techniques, which contributes to the patient's rapid recovery and reduced hospitalization period.
The department's main clinical activities include:
| Treatment of oncological diseases of the urological spectrum |
|
| Plastic reconstructive urological interventions |
|
| Treatment of urinary incontinence |
|
| Treatment of kidney stone disease |
|
| Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia |
|
| Pediatric urology |
|
| Correction of penile defects |
|
| Robot-assisted surgery (daVinci robotic system) |
|
| Other medical services |
Curriculum vitae
After studying medicine at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and at the University of Ulm (1981: state examination and thesis defense) Prof. Gschwend began his internship at the University Hospital Ulm.

About hospital
The University Hospital Rechts der Isar Munich was founded in 1834. It combines long traditions with the very latest advances in modern medicine. The medical facility includes 33 specialized departments and 20 interdisciplinary centers, where patients can receive top-class medical care in all medical fields.
The hospital annually admits more than 65,000 inpatients for diagnostics and treatment, and about 250,000 outpatients receive effective medical care. The hospital also performs more than 40,000 surgical procedures every year, and about 2,100 babies are born here annually. One of the most significant achievements of the medical facility can be called the first transplantation of both arms above the elbow performed in 2008. The surgery that lasted 15 hours, and in which 40 doctors of various medical specialties took part, became a real sensation in the scientific world. Thanks to a unique surgical procedure, the doctors managed to give the patient new hands.
In addition, the employees of the hospital are actively involved in research activities, in which they study various diseases, as well as develop new therapeutic options for their treatment. It should be noted that the research institutes of the hospital are among the most reputable research organizations in the world. A striking example can be considered the Roman Herzog Comprehensive Cancer Center, whose specialists cooperate closely with the Comprehensive Cancer Center Munich in order to find new treatment methods for cancers.
The university hospital has a strict quality management system to maintain a high level of patient care. Since 2011, the hospital has been certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 at the national and international level. The medical facility was also recertified by TÜV Rheinland in 2020.
The hospital annually provides medical services not only to German citizens, but also to thousands of patients from different countries of the world. This indicates that the hospital has an excellent reputation in the international medical arena and takes on the most complex clinical cases where other medical centers are unable to help the patient.
