Top clinics for abdominal procedures: Where patients receive the best care!
Hamburg, November 14, 2025 – Germany has reached a significant milestone in the field of abdominal surgery in the last twelve months. A total of 19,883 surgical procedures were performed, including many gallbladder operations required due to gallstones or inflammation. A look at the rankings of the clinics shows that Schön Klinik Hamburg Eilbek SE & Co. KG performed the highest number of bariatric procedures with 929 operations. This underlines the importance of the clinic in the treatment of obesity, an issue that is affecting more and more people.
Performing gallbladder surgeries and bariatric procedures not only has immediate medical implications but also helps improve quality of life. Such interventions are increasingly considered necessary because they can reduce comorbidities such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Most clinical care takes place in Hamburg as well as in Middle Franconia and Frankfurt am Main, which underlines the central role of metropolitan regions in German healthcare.
Nursing quotients and special clinics
An interesting aspect of the reporting concerns the nursing quotient, which indicates the number of patients that a nurse cares for annually. This is particularly true of this Sachsenhausen Hospital in Frankfurt am Main, which has the best care ratio for abdominal surgery with a care quotient of 43.97. In comparison, the Schön Klinik Hamburg Eilbek has a higher care quotient of 53.34, which indicates more intensive care.
The Vincentius Diakonissen Clinics Karlsruhe are leaders in gallbladder removals with 706 procedures and a care quotient of 44.17. Other clinics such as the Evangelische Diakonie Freiburg (624 procedures, care quotient 45.82) and the DRK Hospital Clementinenhaus (545 procedures, care quotient 45.23) also play an important role in this area.
Ongoing challenges in the healthcare sector
However, a look beyond the numbers shows that the healthcare sector is also facing challenges. The shortage of nursing staff remains a key issue that could jeopardize the quality of care. This problem has led to initiatives to improve the conditions for nursing staff coming to the fore.
The results of the current statistics are based on the Federal Hospital Atlas, which determined a care quotient of 49.13 for Germany. With the current number of cases and the increasing demands on care, it could become clear that there is a need for action to further ensure the quality of care.
In conclusion, it can be said that despite the positive developments in the area of abdominal surgery, there is still a lot of potential for improvement. The combination of high-quality medical interventions and an adequate care ratio remains an essential challenge for the healthcare system in Germany.
