Lumpectomy in Ewha Womans University Medical Center

Ewha Woman's University Medical Center (EUMC) was founded in 1887. This is the first hospital in South Korea where only women are treated.

The clinic works in cooperation with the country's largest Women's University Ewha. Thanks to it, the hospital has modern equipment, and its doctors regularly undergo training.

• Sparing treatment. Surgeons perform minimally invasive operations through small incisions or through natural holes (vagina, anus). Thanks to that, tissues are injured marginally, and there are almost no scars on the woman's body.
• Equipment. The clinic is equipped with the latest model of the da Vinci robot for high-precision operations, the newest 128-slice PET/CT, which can detect tumors up to 2 mm in diameter (which is equal to a rice grain).

• 3 years in a row the hospital takes the 1st place in the national competition "Quality of Services". The ranking is based on patient feedback.
• From 2009 to 2017, Ewha Medical Center won the "Best Brand" nomination.
• The hospital is recognized as the best one in the country for the colon cancer treatment by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of South Korea.

Doctors of the center provide robotic operations to treat the uterine and thyroid cancer.

The department is equipped with the latest Da Vinci robot model with a high-resolution 3D-HD camera. The surgeon sees the area of operation super precisely and performs it as accurately as possible.

The team of the clinic first in the world made the robotic gynecological intervention through a small single incision (usually doctors make 3-4 incisions).

Robotic surgery at Ewha

The department's team consists of oncologists, mammologists, otorhinolaryngologists, and plastic surgeons.

Doctors specialize in organ saving and minimally invasive operations through small incisions. They select the most sparing surgery method to keep the beauty of the female body.

In some cases, the doctor has to remove a significant part of the breast tumor with following mammoplasty.

This is the only center in South Korea where doctors install artificial bladders (according to the Ewha hospital data).

This procedure helps patients return their healthy everyday life after the removal of the cancer-affected bladder. Surgeons create the artificial organ from the small intestine tissue, and that's why it is not rejected by the organism.

Radiotherapy in Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital

The Ewha Endoprosthetic Center is the largest in South Korea due to the number of operations performed.

Orthopedics of the department have developed an artificial hip joint "Proxima", which does not require cement for fastening (according to the clinic data). This implant prevents the erasing and destruction of the bone after the operation.

The doctors also specialize in complicated joint replacements. They perform a procedure by patients with diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

Patients live in the chosen ward — single, double, or VIP.

Most operations are minimally invasive, so there is no need for extended hospitalization. In such cases, the patient stays in one of the hotels near the hospital. The price of hotel accommodation is from $60 to $250 per night.
