About the clinic
Lung cancer surgery at the Medical Center in Solingen is a specialized procedure for treating both benign and malignant lung diseases. Located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, this academic hospital provides advanced surgical care under the standards of the German Cancer Society. The clinic uses modern robotic techniques to remove tumors while helping patients recover faster.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The Institute of Surgery offers several ways to perform lung operations based on the patient's needs. Surgeons use the DaVinci Xi robotic system for high precision during minimally invasive procedures. This technology allows for smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery. Patients benefit from an enhanced recovery protocol designed to reduce the time spent in the hospital. This approach involves fewer tubes and drains, helping patients start moving sooner after the operation.
Expert Surgical Team
Lung cancer surgery is led by Dr. Ulf Berger, a specialized thoracic surgeon trained at the Cologne Clinic Group. He works alongside Prof. Dr. Peter Schenker, the Chief Physician of the Institute of Surgery. Prof. Dr. Schenker spent over 20 years at University Hospital Bochum focusing on visceral and oncologic surgery. Together, they develop a tailored strategy for every patient, whether they require a simple resection or a complex robotic procedure.
Accredited Oncology Care
As an Academic Hospital of the University of Cologne, the facility follows strict medical protocols. It holds certifications from the German Cancer Society and TÜV Rheinland. The center treats over 60,000 patients annually across 15 specialized clinics. Because the hospital is an interdisciplinary center, patients have immediate access to additional treatments. These include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation therapy if needed after surgery.
Logistics and Preparation
Before traveling to Solingen, patients must provide their medical records and imaging. This includes CT, MRI, or PET-CT scans for the surgical team to review. The clinic provides transparent pricing that is the same for both local and international patients. Once the records are reviewed, the team creates a preliminary cost estimate.
