"From the bottom of my heart I want to thank Professor Gross, as well as all the staff of the Asclepios clinic in Hamburg for their high professionalism, efficiency, sensitivity and attention to patients
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank Professor Gross, as well as all the staff of the Asclepios clinic in Hamburg for their high professionalism, efficiency, sensitivity and attention to patients. About a month ago left an application on the site bookimed, within an hour I was contacted by coordinator Katerina, immediately offered several clinics specializing in oncourology. The choice fell on Asclepios in Hamburg, in particular, Professor Gross. Within a week, thanks to Katerina's efforts, prof. Gross, determined the tactics of treatment and already in a week there was immediate operation. There were some doubts that the nephrectomy could be performed laparoscopically, but the golden hands of prof. Gross know their business. The postoperative period went smoothly, recovered quickly. During the week of the stay, there were no complaints about the work of the staff: attentive, sensitive and affable. Conditions are more than comfortable. The language barrier was not a problem due to the well-coordinated work of the translators Lydia Goncharenko and Vladimir Fissenko. Separately, I want to once again express my gratitude to coordinator Katerina, who was always in touch, quickly resolved all sorts of difficulties.

5 minutes of communication with a doctor-600euro plus a hotel-400 add a flight or transport -350 and 300 euros other costs and the result is NULL. It turns out that everyone has staphylococcosis and it is not necessary to treat it! So, JAPANESE MAT'AT, I went with a specific problem, beforehand dropped all the results of the tests and can not immediately refuse and not milk me and waste my time.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to get my life back!
The whole experience was excellent! The medical team was extremely professional and Dr.Gross, the urologist I met, gave me several options for treatment and together we decided on a path to take if any of the options fail. He was very clear and understanding, and his english was exceptional. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to get my life back! Dr.Shevchuk was extremely friendly and professional; one of the most caring people I've ever dealt with. She was always ready to help, and even went out of her way to find solutions for me. Dr.Lynnyk was communicating with me regularly and efficiently, making things easier for me during my trip.

When considering Nephrectomy, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Laparoscopic Nephrectomy

A minimally invasive procedure for kidney removal using small incisions and a camera-guided tool.

Cons: Longer learning curve for surgeons compared to traditional open surgery. Limited access to complex renal masses.
Effectiveness: 95% success rate in kidney removal for cancer or donation.
Duration: 2-4 hours.
Recovery: 2-4 weeks.
Best for: Patients requiring kidney removal for cancer or donation, especially those preferring minimally invasive options.

Nephrectomy with Da Vinci Robot

This procedure involves the robotic-assisted removal of a kidney using the Da Vinci surgical system for precision and minimally invasive operation.

Pros: Provides enhanced precision with 3D visualization and robotic arms, reducing blood loss by up to 50%. Shorter hospital stay compared to traditional laparoscopic nephrectomy. Quicker recovery time.
