Urogynecology
Within our interdisciplinary center, Urogynecology acts
as the link between the individual departments.
After the initial diagnostic assessment,the interdisciplinary picture is defined and thejoint therapy developed with individual colleagues andtherapists.
The physicians and therapists in the Urogynecologydepartment lead their field in training, diagnostics andtherapy. The highest technical quality is ensured bycontinual interdisciplinary exchange between differentdepartments and a cooperative working partnershipwith a number of prominent European hospitals. All becausesatisfied patients is the driving force behind allour efforts.

Organization of social projects
In addition to professional medical coordination, the Urogynecology department has also established a number of social projects. One of these is integrating the nursing home into the diagnostic assessment and treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence in the elderly. The department oversees the interdisciplinary structuring of Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) and is instrumental in formulating recommendations and guidelines.
In the preventive area, the pelvic floor project is worked on together with our midwife before and after delivery.
There are also individual consultations and group therapies.
