- Highly specialised medicine (MHS):
Highly specialised complex visceral surgery includes deep oesophageal, pancreatic, hepatic and rectal resections, as well as complex bariatric surgery.
We offer our patients the full spectrum of highly specialised surgery. Due to national health planning, we currently perform these operations at the Hirslanden Clinique Beau-Site in Bern.
We guarantee bespoke, ongoing follow-up from our team, also in Bern. - Patients in wheelchairs are currently seen in emergency, where there is wheelchair access (to be announced)
