Your point of contact for outpatient surgical procedures in Vienna
Expertise
At Dr Bernd Weiner’s surgical outpatient clinic, modern technology, medical precision and individual care take centre stage. Thanks to gentle techniques and local anaesthesia, many surgical procedures can now be performed safely and straightforwardly on an outpatient basis – with no hospital stay required.
At the Surgery & Endoscopy Centre 1160, you can expect competent care, a relaxed atmosphere and personal aftercare, all under one roof.
What does the surgical outpatient clinic offer?
Our surgical outpatient clinic in Vienna specialises in minor to medium-sized procedures that generally do not require an inpatient stay. Thanks to outpatient surgery, you can go home on the same day – avoiding long hospital stays.
Typical outpatient procedures include:
- Removal of lipomas & atheromas
- Surgical treatment of ingrown toenails
- Removal of warts, moles & skin lesions
- Treatment of anal skin tags & perianal abscesses
- Outpatient proctology (e.g. rubber band ligation for haemorrhoids)
All procedures are performed under local anaesthesia – completely pain-free, effective and with minimal effort.
Outpatient surgery or inpatient procedure – what's the difference?
Whether a surgical procedure is performed on an outpatient or inpatient basis depends on several factors, such as the type and scope of the operation, the patient’s state of health and the level of aftercare required.
At our surgical outpatient clinic in Vienna, all procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia without general anaesthetic. After a short rest period, you can return home directly.
Inpatient operations, such as complex hernia, gallbladder or bowel surgery, on the other hand require special surgical techniques or more intensive aftercare – these are performed by Dr Weiner in hospital, while personal care is maintained throughout.
When does an outpatient operation make sense?
Outpatient surgery in Vienna is particularly suitable for:
- Minor procedures on the skin, soft tissue or nails
- Treatments with a low risk of bleeding or complications
- Patients with a stable general condition
Many of the operations performed at our surgical outpatient clinic are medically necessary, for example for inflammatory skin conditions, painful lumps or recurring problems in the anal area.
Following a personal examination by Dr Bernd Weiner and his team, we assess individually whether outpatient treatment is possible.

How does an outpatient procedure at the surgical outpatient clinic work?
Following a consultation, the procedure is usually carried out under local anaesthesia. Treatment often takes only 20–60 minutes, after which you can go home following a short recovery period.
Do I need to fast beforehand?
This is only necessary for sedation or certain procedures. In most cases, it’s enough not to eat for a few hours beforehand. You will receive precise information during the initial consultation.
What are the advantages of outpatient surgery over inpatient surgery?
You avoid a hospital stay, receive treatment in a relaxed atmosphere, and return to everyday life more quickly. The risk of hospital-acquired infections is also lower.
Is local anaesthesia sufficient?
Yes, local anaesthesia is completely sufficient for most procedures. Light sedation is possible in some cases on request – we discuss this with you individually.
What does aftercare involve?
We take care of wound checks and follow-up treatment directly at our practice. This means you remain in familiar care even after the procedure.
