Martini Clinic at the UKE
The Martini-Klinik am UKE GmbH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), which specializes in prostate cancer .
history
The Martini-Klinik was founded in 2005 by Hartwig Huland and Markus Graefen as a private clinic. The aim is to diagnose prostate cancer, treat it as best as possible and research it. In addition to private patients and self-payers, patients from statutory health insurance companies are also treated if there is a cooperation agreement . Detlef Loppow has been the managing director of the Martini-Klinik since 2012.
Two surgical techniques are offered as standard. Both the classic open prostatectomy and the minimally invasive robot-assisted ( Da Vinci operating system ) operation.
Distinguishing features
As a specialist clinic, the Martini-Klinik performs most of these interventions worldwide with around 2500 prostate operations per year. It is the only specialist clinic for prostate cancer treatment in Europe.
Every senior physician is a so-called high-volume surgeon. This means that he performs 200 to 300 operations per year. This is one reason for the good surgical results.
| Quality of treatment | Throughout Germany | Martini Clinic |
|---|---|---|
| Full continence | 56.7% | 93.5% |
| Severe erectile dysfunction | 75.5% | 34.7% |
The faculty system was introduced to keep specialists at the clinic. So there are, atypical for Germany, twelve senior physicians (chief physicians) who have further specialized in the field of prostate cancer. It is also the aim that every patient has a doctor as a reference person who takes care of diagnostics, information, surgery and follow-up treatment.
Another special feature is the world's largest database for prostate cancer, in which more than 25,000 patients are recorded. This can be used to record, compare and improve the quality of the results.
facts and figures
The Martini-Klinik currently has 68 beds and four operating theaters in building O46 ⊙ of the UKE. Around 5000 outpatients are treated annually.
A new building began in 2019. This should be completed in 2022/23 and comprises four wards with over 100 beds and eight operating theaters.
In 2015, the Martini-Klinik had a turnover of around 23 million euros and a surplus of around 23.5 million euros in ten years. With the DRG M01B, the case proceeds from a radical prostatectomy in 2019 will be around 9110 euros. The operation with the da Vinci system (acquisition approx. 1 million euros, service costs per year approx. 100,000 euros, material costs per operation approx. 500 euros) entails additional costs of around 1,000 euros.
