FAQ

01

Are your services covered by the insurance company?

Our services are covered by German insurance companies. Therefore, German-insured persons do not pay for them, but the uninsured in Germany pay for them themselves.

02

What is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure?

During a minimally invasive procedure, namely the endoscopic procedure, there are no large incisions (it is not a so-called open procedure). Only an 8 mm incision is made at skin level, the muscle is not incised, only dilated with dilators so that an approximately 6 mm camera with a working channel can be inserted. Patients thus recover more quickly.

03

In which languages is it possible to communicate with you?

Vasilios Koufoglou speaks German, English, and Greek, but also Czech. Therefore, you can come to us without any concerns. And without a dictionary.

04

Where is your office?

Our practice, where preliminary examinations, consultations, and check-ups are conducted, is at Porschestrasse 47, 384 40 Wolfsburg. Surgeries and potential hospitalizations are performed at local well-equipped clinics that we cooperate with.

05

Is the surgery performed under anesthesia or while conscious?

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.

06

How much do the individual procedures cost?

Each price calculation is individual. It depends on what kind of problems the patient has and what will be needed to eliminate them.

07

Can I combine the preliminary examination with the surgery, or do I have to come for the examination and surgery separately?

Under certain circumstances and by prior arrangement, the preliminary examination can be combined with the surgery.

08

If I send the necessary medical documentation, is it possible to have an initial consultation online and come to the surgery afterward?

Yes, but not in all cases.

09

When can I leave after the procedure?

It all depends on the particular procedure and the patient's feelings. Most of the time the patient is discharged the day after the surgery, but sometimes even on the day of the surgery. If necessary, we can arrange comfortable accommodation for you at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, which we cooperate with, under favorable conditions. We can also arrange transport between the airport, the hotel, and the clinic upon request.
