Leech Private Clinic (Privatklinik Leech) is a private surgical clinic in the centre of Graz, southern Austria, part of the SANLAS Holding group. On a Belegarzt basis, patients choose their specialist, who uses the clinic's infrastructure. With 44 beds and three operating theatres, it covers nearly every surgical field except obstetrics: ophthalmology, orthopaedics, urology (with a new endoscopic prostate technique), ENT, plastic, gynaecological and vascular surgery, plus cancer procedures such as breast-conserving tumour surgery and skin tumour removal.
It also runs a day clinic with on-site CT, X-ray and endoscopy, treats about 6,500 patients a year, and welcomes international patients.

Privatklinik Leech, founded in 1973, is a private surgical clinic in the centre of Graz, the capital of Styria in southern Austria. It belongs to SANLAS Holding, a Styrian healthcare group founded in 1980 that today runs twelve health facilities across rehabilitation, care, prevention, acute medicine and surgery. Leech works as a "Belegarzt" clinic: patients are treated by the specialist of their choice from a team of around 100 doctors, who use the clinic's operating theatres, nursing team and infrastructure. With 44 beds in single and double rooms, three operating theatres and a round-the-clock recovery unit, the clinic combines a broad surgical range with the comfort and personal atmosphere of a small private hospital in the heart of the city.
The clinic covers almost every surgical field apart from obstetrics, including:
Dental treatment under general anaesthesia is also available.
Several of the clinic's procedures address cancer, including breast-conserving operations for breast tumours, the treatment of eye tumours, and the removal of skin moles and tumours with subsequent pathological assessment. The clinic also offers gastroscopy and colonoscopy, internal medicine with cardiology, angiology and gastroenterology, neurology, dermatology and interventional pain therapy. On-site computed tomography and X-ray support fast and accurate diagnosis.
A dedicated day clinic allows many treatments to be carried out in a single day, without an overnight stay, including:
Every room is equipped with:
Wireless patient monitoring is available in every room for safety after an operation. Patients also have access to a cafeteria, a lounge and a quiet garden courtyard.
The clinic settles accounts directly with many statutory and all Austrian private insurers, as well as numerous foreign insurance providers. Self-paying patients from Austria and abroad receive an individual quotation in advance, so they can decide on treatment with full cost certainty. Patients who need rehabilitation afterwards can continue their recovery at the group's rehabilitation clinic in nearby Laßnitzhöhe.
