Clinic Review

Prostate Centre Europe in Gronau

The European Prostate Center Gronau (PZNW) is a specialized clinic for the treatment of benign and malignant prostate tumours.

The European Prostate Center was founded based on multidisciplinary St. Antonius Hospital, which was certified by Focus in 2016 and has been ranked among the best German medical centres.

Doctors at the clinic work with modern therapeutic methods. The clinic has five Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery systems. The hospital has been operating since 2006, during which time 12,000 robotic surgeries have been performed.

The main principles in the work of European Prostate Center specialists are patient safety, reduction of postoperative risks, rapid recovery and preservation of sexual function.

The European Prostate Center accepts patients from all over the world for treatment. This is because, in many countries, cancer clinics are not properly equipped, follow old treatment protocols, and doctors are not experienced in modern methods of fighting cancer. Therefore, the prostate centre in Gronau creates a comfortable environment for foreign patients and provides treatment according to all modern possibilities.

Service for international patients the European Prostate Center Gronau

A personal coordinator accompanies the men at all times during the examination at the prostate centre. The treatment price includes accommodation in a single room, three meals a day and unlimited Internet access in each room. Throughout the treatment, the patient receives professional psychological support and nursing care. The doctors of the European Prostate Center also take on difficult and elderly patients (up to 83 years), ensuring the best possible assistance in solving their problems. This attitude towards patients helped the European Prostate Center to gain the status of one of the best clinics in Germany, which is reflected in the testimonials of those who underwent treatment there.

Diagnostics at the European Prostate Center in Gronau

Before any treatment regimen is prescribed, each man undergoes a urological examination, which may include:

  • A consultation with a specialist;
  • Laboratory tests;
  • PSA analysis;
  • Ultrasound/TRUS;
  • Fusion prostate biopsy;
  • Osteoscintigraphy;
  • CT/MRI;
  • PET-CT.

One of the key differences between the European Prostate Center Gronau and other clinics is the availability of Fusion prostate biopsy. This method of examination differs from the classic diagnostics by the creation of 3D images and the possibility of tissue analysis from hard-to-reach areas of the prostate. Fusion biopsy detects malignant cells 65% better than other methods and has no risk of rectal damage. During the biopsy process, the patient feels no pain and quickly returns to his normal routine.

Doctors perform a detailed diagnosis before surgery. This is necessary for the quality of the surgical plan. Patients are prescribed such examinations:

  • PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test is a blood test that measures the markers secreted by the prostate gland: their increase is associated with an inflammatory process or benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • MRI – imaging diagnosis, which detects pathological changes in the structure of tissues.
  • Ultrasound diagnosis – most often performed together with a biopsy. Transrectal ultrasound probes provide a detailed image of the structure of the prostate and nearby tissues. Under the supervision of an ultrasound, the doctors of the European Prostate Center take a biopsy from the altered area of the prostate gland.

Features of the Clinic

Robotic surgery at the European Prostate Center

The main focus of the hospital is robotic surgery. The doctors at the European Prostate Center specialize in these types of interventions – the best highly specialized specialists work here.

The head of the centre is Jörn Witt, MD, who is a leading surgeon in his field. The clinic does not perform open prostatectomy, as this procedure carries a large number of risks. Minimally invasive intervention gives the best results: faster tissue healing, short rehabilitation period and absence of pain which is inherent to classic surgery.

In Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery, the pathological tissues are accessed through microincisions. With the help of a small camera, the doctor sees the surgical process in multiple magnifications, which allows for more precise movements.

At the European Prostate Center, the latest version of the Da Vinci Xi is in use. Its advantages lie in the better mobility of the system’s manipulators, which allows the surgeon to make more choices.

Consequently, it is easier and less traumatic to reach the affected prostate tissues. The method of resection using robotic surgery helps preserve urinary retention in 94,7% of cases and potency in 88,8%.

Additional Treatments for Prostate Tumors at the European Prostate Center in Gronaum Germany

In the early stages of the disease, doctors at the centre use brachytherapy. This is a modern method of radiation therapy, which locally affects the affected cells without harming healthy tissue. This type of therapy helps fight small tumours of the prostate gland.

If the malignant tumour has spread beyond the prostate, doctors may combine hormone therapy with surgery. In this case, hormone therapy reduces the growth of cancer cells, followed by resection of the tumour tissue and some of the surrounding healthy tissue to reduce the risk of recurrence.
