The use of new diagnostic procedures such as liver function measurement (LiMAx test) and modern technical methods such as laparoscopic surgery (keyhole technique) has enabled the range of indications to be constantly expanded.

Minimally invasive lung cancer surgery for early-stage carcinomas

Metastasis surgery using modern laser technology in thoracic surgery

Minimally invasive funnel chest correction surgery

In this way, transplants of the body's own tissue can be carried out in defect zones caused by accidents or tumor operations, thus achieving extensive restoration.

Performing minimally invasive operations for various indications using an even gentler and more precise technique compared to conventional keyhole surgery

The so-called "da Vinci" surgical system works with the aid of sensitively controllable endoscopes and is therefore one of the most modern techniques in minimally invasive surgery

(Percutaneous collagen induction therapy) for wrinkles, scars and stretch marks

In focal therapy, it is not the entire prostate that is treated, but only the part affected by the cancer (focal). In principle, however, the entire prostate can also be treated.

During the operation, laser fibers are introduced transperineally (via the perineum) into the tumor-bearing prostate lobe under sonographic control.

The activation of the laser causes a stimulation of the previously intravenously applied photosensitive agent "Padeliporfin" (TOOKAD®), which leads to vascular destruction and reduced blood flow to the tissue. This induces tissue destruction (necrosis / apoptosis).

This is a bone-guided prosthesis (metal stem) that is surgically inserted and discharged via a skin/soft tissue passage.

The newly developed concept means that only the most essential stabilization takes place on the day of the accident if the injury is of a certain severity, and that definitive stabilization only takes place a few days later after the patient has recovered.

MIPPO/MIPO, short for minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis, is now a standard procedure for stabilizing long tubular bones in all countries around the world.

The stabilization of long tubular bones of the lower extremity often resulted in long operating times and extensive radiation exposure for the patient and treatment team. Together with a working group from Bern led by Prof. Nolte and the company Medivision, a procedure for computer navigation for bone stabilization was developed.

Joint transplantation can be a sensible option to delay or even completely avoid artificial joint replacements made of plastic and metal. In a joint transplant, the damaged cartilage-bone section is replaced with a so-called allograft (allo: foreign; graft: tissue) (bio-joint).

An MHH invention now enables completely internal bone defect regeneration using a motorized implant module for the first time in the world. This was based on a bone lengthening nail with a magnetic drive, which has been available as a commercial product for years but has not yet been used to fill bone gaps.

Patient-specific implants are planned and manufactured using modern digital planning and manufacturing processes. Implants can be customized for specific patients using various 3D printing processes.

The interactive use of image information enables the optimization of interdisciplinary treatment in the different departments. In addition to successful treatment, this information is also used to restore the defect as faithfully as possible.

The fact that some implants have to be removed again in a second planned operation or, in the event of problems, have to be removed again unplanned, has led to research into resorbable or self-dissolving materials.

Shortening the hospital stay of patients with a free flap plasty to the lower extremity through risk-free earlier mobilization of these patients

Burn injuries often affect more than just the skin as the largest human organ. The inhalation of hot gases or toxic substances that can be produced in fires can result in what is known as inhalation trauma, which has a significant impact on the likelihood of surviving a burn injury.
