The core concept of our work is to serve regions with lower access to hospitals. Patients get their operation from the surgeon they already know in the environment they already are comfortable with. For this reason, we travel to practices all over Brandenburg (state).

We see 30-50 patients a week in our practice, all of whom we contact by phone several days prior to surgery. This gives us time to have additional tests done if need be postponed or cancel the operation to optimize safety for the patient. A preoperative physical exam complements patient assessment before anesthesia. 

We perform total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) or sedation to minimize undesirable effects like nausea. Most patients recover very quickly from anesthesia and are able to leave the practice about 1h postop.

Surgeons we work with perform orthopedic surgery (shoulder, knee, hand), plastic/esthetic surgery, gynecologic surgery, ophthalmologic surgery (strabismus, crossed eyes), and dental surgery. We treat adults and children from 3 years and 15kg.

Anesthesia for ambulatory surgery differs from hospital anesthesia in that safety concerns play an even bigger role. We routinely travel to practices in remote areas. For that reason, patient vetting is a top priority and all potential problems need to be resolved before we meet the patient. Additionally, we always carry with us emergency medical equipment (e.g. defibrillator, emergency medication (adrenaline, etc), oxygen, video laryngoscope, intraosseous access). We are trained in advanced cardiac life support and some colleagues still actively work in emergency medical services.
