Treatment Spectrum

Inpatient surgery.
Two buildings, one team.

Some operations cannot safely be performed on an outpatient basis for medical or technical reasons. Procedures that require opening large body cavities such as the abdomen, or operations needing longer post-operative monitoring, are performed by us at St.-Anna-Krankenhaus in Sulzbach-Rosenberg.

Dr. Scherer and Dr. Luyken hold attending-surgeon privileges (Belegarzt) there — so you will still be operated on by the MVZ team you know. Pre-operative consultations, admission and all follow-up care take place in our practice. No change of contact person, no loss of information.
