Hemorrhoids Treatment in Leech Private Clinic

About the clinic

Hemorrhoid treatment at Leech Private Clinic (Privatklinik Leech) in Graz, Austria, is managed by specialists in visceral surgery. A consultation with a surgeon for this condition may cost around $140–$270. The facility holds EN ISO 9001 accreditation and offers a unique system where patients select their own operating surgeon.

The clinic uses the Belegarzt system. This means patients choose their preferred specialist, such as Univ. Prof. Dr. Johannes Fruhwirth. Dr. Fruhwirth is a University Professor and a specialist in general and visceral surgery. This personalized approach allows for a direct doctor-patient relationship throughout the entire surgical process. The clinic provides 24/7 nursing care for all patients during their recovery.

Diagnostics and consultation

Before any surgical intervention, patients undergo a thorough evaluation. This process identifies the stage of the condition and the best surgical approach. The clinic offers:

  • Consultation with a surgeon. This pre-operative meeting costs around $140–$270 depending on the specialist.
  • Visceral surgery evaluation. A specialist examines the area to confirm the diagnosis.
  • Treatment planning. The surgeon explains the procedure and recovery expectations.

Treatment and surgical procedures

Hemorrhoid surgery is performed in a modern surgical environment. The facility supports both quick procedures and more complex operations. The length of stay is adjusted to the patient's specific medical needs. Treatment options include:

  • Hemorrhoid surgery. A specialist in visceral surgery performs the procedure to remove or treat the affected tissue.
  • Day clinic treatment. Simple cases are often treated in a single day without an overnight stay.
  • Inpatient surgery. Complex cases involve a 1–2 night stay with full nursing support.
  • Post-operative care. The clinic provides in-house physiotherapy and coordinates with rehab centers if needed.

The infrastructure at Leech Private Clinic includes advanced medical equipment and comfortable recovery rooms. International patients receive support throughout their stay to navigate the medical process in Graz.

Leech Private Clinic : more details about the clinic

Austria, Graz

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.

Surgical Specialties

The clinic covers almost every surgical field apart from obstetrics, including:

  • Ophthalmology, including cataract surgery, lens implants and eyelid operations
  • Orthopaedic surgery
  • Urological surgery, including a new minimally invasive, endoscopic technique for the prostate
  • Ear, nose and throat surgery, including tonsil and adenoid operations in children
  • Plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery
  • Gynaecological surgery
  • Vascular surgery with interventional angiology

Dental treatment under general anaesthesia is also available.

Cancer and Other Treatments

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.

Day Clinic

A dedicated day clinic allows many treatments to be carried out in a single day, without an overnight stay, including:

  • Cataract operations
  • Eyelid surgery
  • Removal of moles and skin tumours
  • Smaller orthopaedic procedures such as carpal tunnel release
  • ENT operations
  • Minor plastic surgery

Comfort and Safety

Every room is equipped with:

  • An electrically adjustable bed
  • A refrigerator
  • A safe
  • Satellite television
  • A nurse-call system

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.

International Patients

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.

Had an artificial knee joint inserted in February 2025 and can honestly only say the best about the clinic. From the lady at reception to the nursing staff, the ward doctor and the first officer, I was treated extremely competently and in a particularly friendly and supportive manner. It is rare to find so much attention and positive human and professional support.

I had an operation on my left kidney by Dr Sunjara on February 24, 2025 at the Leech Private Clinic. A top clinic, starting with the cleaners, nursing staff and doctors, all very nice and friendly. Also a big compliment to the kitchen food was perfect.
