Hysterectomy (uterus removal) in Ewha Womans University Medical Center
About the clinic
Ewha Woman's University Medical Center in Seoul, South Korea offers hysterectomy (uterus removal) procedures costing around $2,500-$22,000 USD depending on complexity. The hospital specializes in women's health and pioneered robotic single-incision gynecologic surgery for shorter recovery.
About the procedure
A hysterectomy removes the uterus to treat conditions like cervical cancer or endometrial adenocarcinoma. The clinic provides three main surgical approaches:
- Standard hysterectomy - suitable for early-stage conditions
- Radical hysterectomy - includes lymph node removal
- Pelvic exenteration - for advanced cases only when necessary
Treatment approach
Ewha uses the Da Vinci robotic system for precision surgery. Their world-first technique requires just one small incision. Patients experience minimal scarring and faster healing compared to traditional surgery. Tests before the procedure include:
- Pelvic MRI and CT imaging
- Transvaginal ultrasound
- Blood and urine analysis
- Pathology review
Why choose this clinic
The hospital has dedicated women's care for 130 years. It's the only facility in South Korea exclusively for female patients. Their gynecologic oncologists including Professor Kim Yun Hwan and Professor Kim Mi Gyeong perform these procedures regularly. The JCI-accredited center won national quality awards three times.
Hospital stays typically last two weeks for surgery or 4-5 months if chemotherapy is needed. Contact the clinic to discuss your specific case and treatment options.

Ewha Womans University Medical Center: more details about the clinic
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.
Ewha Strong Points
- 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).

Robotic Surgery Center
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).

Breast and Thyroid Cancer Center
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.
Bladder Cancer Center
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.

Joint Replacement Center
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.
Accommodation
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.
