Removal of duodenal polyp at Leech Private Clinic in Graz, Austria, is performed using endoscopic techniques to remove growths from the small intestine. This procedure is handled by the clinic’s specialized surgery department, which focuses on minimally invasive methods. The clinic follows the high quality standards required by its ISO 9001:2015 certification.
The medical team uses endoscopic polypectomy to remove polyps during an upper GI endoscopy. This method involves inserting a thin, flexible tube through the mouth to reach the duodenum. Doctors can see the area clearly and remove the polyp without making large incisions. This approach helps reduce recovery time and lowers the risk of complications. The clinic provides gastroscopy and colonoscopy services on-site to handle these procedures directly.
The facility operates under the Belegarzt system, which allows patients to choose their own specialist for the procedure. Specialist in General and Visceral Surgery, Univ. Prof. Dr. Johannes Fruhwirth, and Dr. Jürgen Cech are available to perform these surgeries. Both doctors focus on visceral surgery, which involves treating organs in the abdomen. Their presence at the clinic helps patients receive care from surgeons with specific experience in intestinal issues.
Leech Private Clinic uses a day clinic model for polyp removal. Patients can have the procedure finished in one day and return home without staying overnight. Before the surgery, the clinic uses modern diagnostic tools like CT scans and X-rays to plan the removal accurately. Being part of the SANLAS Holding group, the clinic follows strict protocols for patient safety and quality management. This setup allows for a smooth process from the first diagnostic scan to the final recovery steps.

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.
