Leech Private Clinic (Privatklinik Leech) is a private surgical clinic in the centre of Graz, southern Austria, part of the SANLAS Holding group. On a Belegarzt basis, patients choose their specialist, who uses the clinic's infrastructure. With 44 beds and three operating theatres, it covers nearly every surgical field except obstetrics: ophthalmology, orthopaedics, urology (with a new endoscopic prostate technique), ENT, plastic, gynaecological and vascular surgery, plus cancer procedures such as breast-conserving tumour surgery and skin tumour removal.
It also runs a day clinic with on-site CT, X-ray and endoscopy, treats about 6,500 patients a year, and welcomes international patients.
