About

University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH) stands at the forefront of minimally invasive surgery, surgical robotics, and precision oncology, establishing itself as one of Germany's most influential academic medical centers. With campuses in Kiel and Lübeck, UKSH combines cutting-edge clinical practice with rigorous translational research, making it an exceptional destination for clinicians, engineers, and scientists seeking to advance the boundaries of modern medicine. The institution has made landmark contributions to minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, most notably through its leadership in developing the internationally acclaimed Miami and Brescia evidence-based guidelines on minimally invasive pancreas resection — works that have collectively garnered nearly 600 citations and now serve as foundational references for surgical practice worldwide. Researchers here have also driven comparative analyses of robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy through rigorous multicentre studies, helping to define benchmarks that guide adoption of robotic platforms globally. Beyond pancreatic surgery, UKSH has demonstrated exceptional breadth. Its contributions span stereotactic body radiotherapy for liver oligometastases, adaptive radiotherapy systems, and radiosurgery for recurrent brain metastases — research conducted in active collaboration with the German Society for Radiation Oncology (DEGRO). The institution is equally recognized for advancing robotic gynecologic surgery, pediatric minimally invasive techniques, bariatric procedures, and robotic colorectal surgery, with studies consistently demonstrating improved specimen quality and patient outcomes. Particularly distinctive is UKSH's interdisciplinary reach into medical robotics and neurotechnology, including pioneering work on magnetic micro-robot navigation through cerebral aneurysm phantoms using magnetic particle imaging — a visionary contribution bridging surgical robotics and neurointervention. Collaborators and prospective students will find in UKSH a uniquely dynamic environment where surgical innovation, oncological precision, and emerging robotic technologies converge at the highest international level.
