About the clinic

Removal of liver cancer at Confraternität & Goldenes Kreuz Private Clinic in Vienna, Austria, uses personalized molecular-genetic profiling to tailor therapy to each patient. The clinic provides advanced surgical care through an interdisciplinary oncology team and holds the EFQM validation for quality. This medical center is part of the Mavie Med group and handles about 9,000 inpatients every year.

Advanced Surgical Methods

Surgeons at the clinic focus on minimally invasive techniques for liver resection. This laparoscopic method uses small incisions of just 1 to 2 cm. About 90% of abdominal procedures that used to require open surgery now use this gentle approach. Smaller incisions help reduce the need for pain medication after the operation. This method also helps patients leave the hospital sooner and speeds up the total recovery time.

The facility features four operating rooms, including a specialized unit for endoscopic procedures. Patients recover in a dedicated ward that includes an intermediate care unit (IMCU) and an intensive care unit (ICU). The surgical team is led by Prim. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Friedrich Längle, a department head and university professor. Assoc. Prof. Priv.-Doz. Dr. Gerd Silberhumer also specializes in visceral surgery at the clinic.

Personalized Cancer Diagnostics

Treatment begins with detailed imaging such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound to map the liver. The clinic uses molecular-genetic tumor profiling to examine over 300 different genes. These results are ready in about two to three weeks. This data helps doctors choose the most effective drugs and avoids therapies that will not work. The plan may combine tumor surgery with chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, or interventional radiology.

Supportive Care and Recovery

Each patient has a dedicated oncology doctor to guide them throughout their stay. The clinic provides holistic support beyond surgery, including:

Dietetics and nutritional advice tailored to liver health.
Physical therapy to help regain strength after the procedure.
Psychological support for patients and their families.
Individualized discharge plans that include follow-up nutritional care.

Confraternitaet & Goldenes Kreuz Private Clinic: more details about the clinic

Austria, Vienna

Confraternität & Goldenes Kreuz is a private hospital in Vienna formed in 2026 from two long-standing hospitals: the Confraternität, Vienna's oldest private hospital, whose origins go back to 1729, and the Goldenes Kreuz, home to the largest private maternity department in Austria. Both now operate on a single campus close to the Vienna General Hospital, with a shared new building nearby due to open at the end of 2028. The hospital has around 120 beds, cares for roughly 9,000 inpatients a year, and works with a network of about 350 affiliated specialists, many of them university professors. It belongs to the Mavie Med group, part of the UNIQA insurance group.

Cancer Care

The hospital's certified Breast Health Center diagnoses and treats breast cancer to internationally recognised quality standards, supported by breast cancer surgeons and oncologists. Gynaecological cancers, blood disorders, and cancers of the digestive organs, prostate and other sites are also treated, with surgery, medical oncology and haematology working side by side.

Women's Health and Childbirth

The Goldenes Kreuz hosts the largest private maternity department in the country, with around 1,600 births a year. Specialists in obstetrics, anaesthesia and intensive care are on site around the clock, and a paediatrician with neonatology training is on call day and night. A fertility centre, an endometriosis centre and prenatal diagnostics complete the women's health offering, and the hospital works closely with the university women's and children's clinics nearby.

General and abdominal surgery
Orthopaedic, sports, joint, foot and spinal surgery

Verified review.

I was not in the hospital. I asked just a second opinion. I was very disappointed, because I was working a lot to translate all the documentation into English, and finally I was discussing with doctor only 10 minutes, and the level of the discussion was very poor. Practically I did not get anything for 400 EUR.

Reply from Professor Johaness Drach:
Second opinion is given on the basis of a thorough analyses of provided medical reports. The procedure lasts as long until all questions of the patient have been clarified. If necessary specialists of other disciplines are also involved. The patient always receive a written statement.
