Key Features

Operation of Patient-Specialized Clinic
- We operate dedicated clinics—including the Colorectal Clinic, Hernia Clinic, and Ultrasound Clinic—to provide individualized and condition-specific care.
Enhanced Treatment Outcomes through Robotic Surgery
- Most procedures are performed laparoscopically, and for major cancers such as colorectal, rectal, and gastric cancers, we actively utilize robotic surgery to improve clinical outcomes.
Broad Application of Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Surgery
- Laparoscopic techniques are widely applied across nearly all surgical areas, including the stomach, colon, liver, gallbladder, hernia, and appendix, enabling faster recovery and reduced postoperative pain.
