Bariatric surgery

The Weight Loss Surgery Center at KCM specialises in surgical treatment of obesity and metabolic disorders. Selected laparoscopic procedures are performed using the Olympus 3D visualisation system, which may be applied during sleeve gastrectomy and mini gastric bypass, depending on the patient's individual medical assessment.

Comprehensive weight loss programme

Depending on the individual programme, it may include:

• comprehensive pre-operative assessment and diagnostics
• laparoscopic bariatric surgery performed with 3D visualisation technology
• sleeve gastrectomy or mini gastric bypass, depending on the patient's individual indications
• airport transfer and transportation during the treatment stay
• hotel accommodation
• hospitalisation and post-operative medical care
• an individual weight-loss programme for the first 7 weeks following surgery
• a long-term weight-maintenance programme extending up to 5 years

Bariatric surgery is considered part of a broader, long-term approach to weight management; KCM combines surgical treatment with nutritional and lifestyle support to help patients adapt to the changes following surgery.

Spine surgery

Minimally invasive spine surgery is one of KCM Clinic's key specialties, with a dedicated Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Center in Jelenia Góra; doctors have carried out over 3,000 interventions so far. Specialists perform minimally invasive and endoscopic procedures for conditions affecting the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, accessing the affected area through a small skin incision with an endoscope and high-definition camera for continuous visual control.

• endoscopic removal of herniated discs
• endoscopic decompression of spinal stenosis
• foraminotomy
• endoscopic cervical and lumbar spine procedures
• vertebroplasty
• percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD)
• coblation / nucleotomy / discectomy

Compared with conventional open approaches, minimally invasive techniques may allow a shorter hospital stay and recovery period in appropriately selected patients; the suitability of an endoscopic procedure is determined by the spine specialist following review of the patient's medical history and diagnostic imaging. KCM coordinates pre-operative assessment, surgery, hospitalisation, accommodation and transportation for international patients; patients undergoing endoscopic spine surgery will most likely stay at the clinic for approximately two days, although the final discharge decision is made by the treating medical team.

Gynecology

The gynecology department specialises in minimally invasive surgery, including procedures performed using 3D laparoscopic technology, for conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian conditions and fertility-related problems.

• diagnostic laparoscopy
• laparoscopic hysterectomy and supracervical hysterectomy
• laparoscopic myomectomy for uterine fibroids
• laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal
• laparoscopic removal of the ovary or fallopian tube
• laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis, including deeply infiltrating endometriosis
• laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy
• laparoscopic treatment of stress urinary incontinence
• fallopian tube microsurgery in infertility, tubal ligation reversal
• selected hysteroscopic, vaginal and open abdominal procedures where minimally invasive treatment is not appropriate

KCM treats ovarian endometriosis, endometriosis affecting the ovaries and fallopian tubes, and deeply infiltrating endometriosis involving the bladder or rectovaginal area; the surgical approach is determined individually depending on the location and extent of the disease. Fibroids are treated with laparoscopic or hysteroscopic techniques, or with open abdominal surgery for larger fibroids, depending on size, location and characteristics.

For international patients, KCM coordinates consultations, diagnostics, surgery, hospitalisation, accommodation and transportation. Optional services include an airport-to-clinic transfer (€270), accommodation at a partner hotel near the clinic (85 EUR for a single room, 100 EUR for a double room) and free language assistance.
