Shoulder replacement at Leech Private Clinic in Graz, Austria, provides a specialized surgical experience using a unique physician model. Patients select their own orthopedic specialist to perform the surgery in a facility known for its high standards and ISO 9001 accreditation. This approach allows for personalized care from a trusted surgeon combined with the resources of a modern surgical center.
Leech Private Clinic uses the Belegarzt system. This means you choose your own orthopedic specialist, such as Dr. Josef Raschid, to perform your operation. Dr. Raschid is a specialist in orthopedics and orthopedic surgery. He treats both private patients and those with statutory insurance. Your chosen doctor manages your surgery and follow-up care directly at the clinic.
The clinic maintains three operating theaters and a 24-hour recovery unit for post-surgical monitoring. It houses 44 patient beds to help maintain a quiet and focused recovery environment. On-site diagnostic tools include CT and X-ray systems. These help the medical team check the placement of the shoulder implant immediately. Doctors focus on pain management to help patients feel comfortable shortly after waking from anesthesia.
Recovery starts quickly with in-house physiotherapy and 24-hour nursing care. These services help with early mobilization of the shoulder joint. After leaving the clinic, patients can continue their recovery within the same medical group. Specialized rehabilitation after total shoulder joint replacement is available at the Private Hospital Laßnitzhöhe. This transition helps maintain the progress made during the initial hospital stay.
Patients from abroad can send their medical records, X-rays, and MRI scans in advance. The medical team reviews these documents and provides a treatment plan within two working days. The clinic also prepares an individual cost estimate before any patient is admitted. This helps self-pay patients understand the financial requirements before traveling to Austria.

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.
