What is surgery?

Surgery deals with the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of illnesses and injuries, most of which require surgical treatment. The spectrum ranges from bone fractures, appendicitis and varicose veins to hemorrhoids and herniated discs.

Surgery is not always necessary – conservative treatment methods are also used. One of the main tasks of a surgeon is therefore to decide whether surgical or non-surgical treatment is necessary.

What surgical specialties are there in Vienna?

Modern surgery is divided into eight main areas, some of which overlap:

  • General surgery: treatment of internal organs, chest cavity, vascular diseases, emergencies
  • Vascular surgery: operations on blood vessels, treatment of venous diseases, bypass systems
  • Orthopaedics and trauma surgery: operations on the musculoskeletal system, e.g. cruciate ligament rupture, joint operations, surgical reconstruction and treatment of injuries
  • Thoracic surgery: surgery on the chest and lungs
  • Visceral surgery: operations on the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas
  • Pediatric surgery: Pediatric surgery for malformations and accidents
  • Cardiac surgery: surgical interventions on the heart, heart valves, bypass
  • Plastic & reconstructive surgery: Reconstructive and aesthetic procedures
  • Oncological surgery: tumor operations for cancers such as breast, bowel or skin cancer – often in close collaboration with oncology and radiology

Specialties such as surgery of the peripheral nervous system, neurosurgery, oncological surgery and surgery in sports traumatology are also offered at the private clinic in Vienna.

Minimally invasive surgery & Da Vinci technology at the Vienna Private Clinic

The Vienna Private Clinic relies on the latest minimally invasive procedures, which are particularly gentle on patients. Laparoscopic techniques are used in many specialist areas – from visceral surgery to urology – which enable smaller incisions, less pain and a faster recovery.

A particular highlight: robot-assisted surgery with the Da Vinci surgical system. This high-precision procedure allows surgeons to perform operations with millimeter-precision control – for example prostate, bowel or gynaecological operations. The combination of 3D visualization, the finest instruments and robotic stability raises minimally invasive surgery to a new level.

Advantages for our patients:

  • Less blood loss and shorter surgery time
  • Faster recovery and less post-operative pain
  • Minimally visible scars
  • Maximum precision for complex procedures

The Vienna Private Clinic is one of the few private healthcare facilities in Austria to offer this technology in combination with internationally renowned specialists.
