A new standard in the treatment of gynaecological conditions in Switzerland
Care for the nation’s future lies at the heart of the Swiss healthcare system, which is why general and reproductive gynaecology are among the most advanced branches of medicine here. Mountain air, the purest water, organic produce and, of course, the standard of medicine in Switzerland lead many to look closely at this country. Many expectant mothers prefer to give birth in conditions of maximum safety and comfort.
Swiss clinics are also chosen for the treatment of ovarian dysfunction, hormonal disorders, inflammatory, tumour and infectious diseases, menopausal problems, endocrine infertility, breast diseases and more.
The clinics use modern methods of gynaecological and breast diagnostics: laparoscopic, ultrasound, X-ray and laboratory examinations. These technologies make it possible to work with women of any age and detect various conditions at the earliest stages. Robotic surgery is widely used in urology and gynaecology.
Clinique Générale was the first private medical institution in Switzerland to use robotic technology. This is a real breakthrough in surgery and the latest achievement of science and technology. Such phrases are all too often clichés, yet in the case of the da Vinci robot they are well earned. This minimally invasive surgical technology has already proven its promise.
The innovation lies in the fact that the doctor’s movements are transmitted to the robot, which reproduces them with absolute precision, free of the hesitation and tremor natural to the human hand. The surgeon sits at the telemanipulator’s control console at a distance from the patient. The entire operating field is displayed in front of them on screen in 3D. The mechanical arms work in six different directions, increasing the safety and precision of resections. Post-operative recovery time is also shortened, as da Vinci reduces tissue damage.
Watch how da Vinci handles the most delicate work.
Another major area of the clinic’s work is gynaecological endocrinology, covering general diagnosis, prevention and treatment of hormonal disorders in women. Patients come to Clinique Générale for treatment of disorders of sexual development, infertility and dysfunctions of the reproductive organs. The cytopathology laboratory allows rapid analysis at cellular level. Speed is especially important for a biopsy taken during an operation. More than 500 doctors ensure round-the-clock monitoring of patients.
