Duisburg Clinic is a modern diagnostic and treatment complex that functions as the clinical and academic base of the renowned University of Duisburg–Essen. Each year, the hospital treats approximately 82,000 outpatients and 24,000 inpatients. Like other university hospitals in Germany, it has been repeatedly accredited by the strictest healthcare quality control commissions. Substantial government investments enable the clinic’s staff to implement advanced methods, instruments, and medications in clinical practice.

One of the clinic’s priority areas is neurosurgery. More than 2,000 high-precision “microsurgical” operations involving the structures of the central nervous system are performed annually in the neurosurgical department. The clinic is also equipped with instruments for stereotactic surgery aimed at the instrumental destruction of inoperable tumors. The department is led by the world-renowned Professor Martin Scholz, who performs microsurgical procedures (including proprietary techniques) on the brain, spinal cord, vertebral column, and spinal canal.

The clinic’s advanced equipment allows for non-invasive and minimally invasive surgeries, radioisotope diagnostics and therapy, robot-assisted surgical procedures, targeted radiation therapy, dialysis, and other treatments relevant to the management of serious diseases. The hospital staff strives to create ideal conditions for patients’ stays and to help distract them from the stress associated with medical treatment.
