Surgery

Today, most surgical procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques. Methods such as laparoscopy, endoscopy, and arthroscopy use small incisions and camera guidance, allowing surgeons to operate with precision and helping patients recover more quickly.

Modern surgery comprises a wide range of specialized disciplines, making highly complex procedures possible with an excellent level of safety and reliability. Achieving this requires advanced technology and outstanding medical expertise – both of which are core strengths of the Mavie Med private hospitals.

Our operating theaters are equipped with cutting-edge minimally invasive technology. This modern approach offers clear benefits for patients: reduced postoperative pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery times.

All procedures follow the principle of “as much as necessary, as little as possible” to protect healthy tissues and organs whenever possible.

Robotic surgery

Since summer 2025, our specially trained surgeons have been working with the most advanced robotic surgical system available – the Da Vinci Xi.

This state-of-the-art system enables exceptionally precise and minimally invasive procedures, even in areas of the body that are difficult to access. Robot-assisted surgery is primarily used in urology and abdominal surgery, where it allows for particularly gentle and tissue-sparing operations.

The Da Vinci Xi system is the most advanced and powerful surgical robot available today. This latest-generation model offers a number of important advantages over earlier versions.

Thanks to its highly flexible robotic arms, which can move in all directions and operate within very small spaces, the system enables surgeons to work with exceptional precision, even in areas that are difficult to access.

The enhanced accuracy of this robot assisted technology allows for minimally invasive procedures with smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and less postoperative pain.

As a result, hospital stays and recovery times can often be significantly shortened. In addition, the risk of complications – such as infections or delayed wound healing – may be lower.

At Döbling Private Hospital the surgical robot is operated by the most experienced surgeons, ensuring optimal treatment results for our patients.
