Laminectomy at Leech Private Clinic in Graz, Austria, provides relief for patients suffering from spinal pressure and back pain. The clinic operates under the SANLAS Holding group and holds EN ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management. Patients benefit from the unique Belegarzt model, which allows them to choose their own specialist for the procedure.
The surgical team includes experienced specialists like Dr. Josef Raschid, an orthopedic surgeon, and trauma surgeons Priv. Doz. Dr. Christian Boldin and Priv. Doz. Dr. Wolfgang Pichler. These experts perform spinal decompression using different surgical approaches based on the patient's needs. Options include classical open laminectomy or minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery. The clinic features modern operating theaters active 24 hours a day for both elective and acute procedures. Anesthesia and pain management services are also available around the clock to support patient comfort.
After a laminectomy, patients move to the Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU) for close observation. Every room uses wireless patient monitoring to track vital signs throughout the recovery period. The clinic provides in-house physiotherapy to help patients regain mobility quickly. Excellent pain management protocols help manage discomfort during the initial healing phase.
Leech Private Clinic cooperates closely with Private Hospital Laßnitzhöhe for specialized follow-up care. This partnership allows for a smooth transfer to orthopaedic and neurological rehabilitation programs. These programs help patients strengthen their spine and improve long-term outcomes after surgery. Before making a treatment decision, patients receive an individual cost estimate to maintain financial transparency.

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.
