Medicover Clinic follows strict standards of information security. Only practicing physicians have access to the patient information.

Doctors treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, abdominal organs, skin, and joints. Laparoscopy and endoscopy are conducted here. Those are minimally invasive operations conducted through small incisions or natural openings.

A doctor performs endoscopic procedures using a tube with a camera on its end. Depending on the affected organ, the tube is injected through the mouth or anus. That way, the procedure is performed without punctures and does not require general anesthesia.

Laparoscopic interventions are performed by surgeons for the treatment of abdominal organs. A physician makes several punctures in the abdomen through which an optical device and surgical instruments are inserted. In this way, Medicover doctors remove appendicitis, umbilical hernia, gallbladder, and GI tract tumors. Patient recovery after laparoscopy is fast, no extensive scars remain.

Oncological Surgery Department

Doctors of the Department specialize in the surgical removal of malignant tumors. Oncological diseases are diagnosed with the help of ultrasound, computed tomography, and biopsy (sampling for tissue analysis).

Oncosurgeons operate through small incisions. This shortens a rehabilitation period; a patient does not have extensive scarring.

Bariatric Surgery Department (treatment of obesity)

Treatment of patients with excess weight is carried out by a bariatric surgeon, a nutritionist, a psychologist, and a rehabilitologist.

To reduce weight, doctors of the Department perform:

• conservative therapy, which includes consultations with a psychologist and a nutritionist, making an individual menu
• an installation of a gastric balloon that reduces the patient's appetite
• stomach bandaging, after which a person feels sated quickly
• gastric bypass, which allows losing up to 70% of weight.

The Cardiac Surgery at Medicover is the leading Department for the treatment of pulmonary embolism and pulmonary hypertension in Poland. Doctors of the Department perform:

• coronary artery bypass graft after a heart attack or ischemic disease
• endovascular replacement and correction of heart valves through a thin catheter, without skin incisions
• operations in case of aneurysm of the ascending aorta
• surgical treatment of congenital and acquired defects
• surgery for heart cancer.

Doctors of the Department specialize in the surgical treatment of injuries, hernias, and tumors of the spine.

Medicover neurosurgeons operate applying the technique of minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS). MISS is an intervention through one or more small incisions. The advantages of the method are:

• pain after surgery is less than after traditional surgery
• a patient loses less blood and restores faster
• postoperative scars are not noticeable.

Doctors of the Department treat diseases of the musculoskeletal system and carry out rehabilitation of patients after operations and sports injuries.

Such procedures are performed:

• diagnostic arthroscopy of the shoulder, knee, ankle, and hip joint. The procedure is carried out through several punctures on the skin, under local anesthesia. A doctor administers the optical device into the affected area, estimates the condition of the tissues and makes an accurate diagnosis;
• arthroplasty of the knee, hip, and shoulder joints. A surgeon performs the operation through 2-3 punctures, without incisions;
• reconstruction of tendons and ligaments;
• correction of congenital and acquired deformities of the limbs;
• removal of benign tumors of the musculoskeletal system.

Doctors of the Medicover Clinic use the newest treatment methods, such as:

• Orthokine-therapy (Orthokine®)

A doctor takes the patient's blood and receives the serum in the laboratory. Then it is injected into the body to stop the inflammatory processes and stimulate the regeneration of tissues.

Orthokin therapy is used to treat osteoarthritis, chronic muscle pain.

• Regenerative therapy CELLULAR MATRIX™

A patient is given a blood plasma with hyaluronic acid. Substances accelerate healing, reduce pain, and prevent degeneration of the joint.

• Stem cell therapy LIPOGEMS

Doctors produce stem cells from the fat tissue of a patient, inject them into the affected joint. As a result of therapy, the cells of the body are restored.

Doctors conduct a procedure for the treatment of osteoarthritis, restoration of bone and cartilaginous tissues.

Doctors of the Medicover Clinic Department specialize in the treatment of patients with endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, malignant tumors, and infertility.

To diagnose the pathology, doctors use ultrasound with color Doppler, CT, and MRI. These techniques allow diagnosing diseases at the early stage.

Surgery is performed by doctors using laparoscopy or hysteroscopy. Laparoscopic interventions are performed by surgeons through 3-4 punctures in the peritoneum. Hysteroscopic procedure is an operation through the vagina without incisions. After this procedure, a patient is restored 2-3 times faster than after the open surgery.

Patients stay in a single, double or a two-room apartment. The rooms are equipped with adjustable beds, air conditioning, and TV. All rooms have free Wi-Fi. A patient can order an individual menu.

The Medicover Clinic allows staying with the family and children. Their accommodation is paid separately.
