About the clinic

Laparoscopic mesorectumrctonomy is a specialized surgical procedure for rectal diseases available at Städtisches Klinikum Solingen in Solingen, Germany. This minimally invasive method treats both benign conditions and rectal cancer. The clinic is an Academic Hospital of the University of Cologne and holds certifications from the German Cancer Society (DKG) and TÜV Rheinland.

Surgical Expertise and Technology

Prof. Dr. Peter Schenker leads the Department of General and Visceral Surgery at the hospital. He is a specialist in gastrointestinal oncology and spent over 20 years at the University Hospital Bochum. Prof. Dr. Schenker has deep expertise in minimally invasive techniques and transplant surgery. He works closely with the specialized Center for Bowel Cancer and the Oncological Center to plan every surgery.

The surgical team uses the DaVinci Xi robotic system for complex rectal procedures. This technology helps surgeons perform precise movements in the narrow pelvic area.

The Surgeon was very warm including the staff, which made a real difference

My biggest concern before the trip was the impersonal nature of a large clinic. This was not the case at all. I underwent a craniotomy for a meningioma, and the entire approach felt very focused on my well-being. To put it simply, "The Surgeon was very warm including the staff," which made a real difference. The entire process was efficient and well-structured; the schedule was tight but normal, leaving no room for uncertainty. I am still in early recovery, but I feel the medical care I received was competent and the right decision for my health.

In addition to being satisfied with the level of professionalism of the medical staff, the equipment and the capabilities of the clinic, I would like to note the comprehensive assistance provided by BOOKIMED manager Anastasia and our coordinator at the clinic, Alexandra, for their support at all times: from arrival, accommodation, translations and explanations, to always being available and helping with all questions - from the necessary route to obtaining all the necessary medical documents

Thank you very much for providing me with all the necessary assistance and support at every stage: choosing a clinic and doctor, accompanying me upon arrival at the clinic and introducing me to Professor Korillos, providing the necessary translations and detailed explanations of all stages of treatment, and answering all my questions both inside and outside the clinic. In addition to being satisfied with the level of professionalism of the medical staff, the equipment and the capabilities of the clinic, I would like to note the comprehensive assistance provided by BOOKIMED manager Anastasia and our coordinator at the clinic, Alexandra, for their support at all times: from arrival, accommodation, translations and explanations, to always being available and helping with all questions - from the necessary route to obtaining all the necessary medical documents.

Not good. The people that I had appointments with did not show up. I met with others who seemed to doubt my records and then claimed that my medical imaging showed no problems whatsoever. I returned home and now seem to have pneumonia in the top of my lungs around the vertebra that are known to have lesions (T1,T2,T3). I consider your service to be a fraud.

In the clinic, with the help of coordinators, a consultation with explanations was successfully held

Very quick and clear consultation of Bookimed coordinators. For several hours, they helped organize a consultation at the clinic and lure the flight. A transfer from the airport to the city was also organized. In the clinic, with the help of coordinators, a consultation with explanations was successfully held, diagnostics were carried out, and the treatment process started. Very good attitude of doctors.

Everything is clear and reasonable

Immediately I will note not the intrusive and at the same time "essentially" made by Alena presentation of the clinic. And really everything turned out to be as they described to me: the doctor explained how he sees my situation, what kind of opinion of Moscow doctors he agrees with, and what does not and what he proposes to do. Everything is clear and reasonable.
