The whole atmosphere of the clinic gave us hope for a speedy recovery and a positive outlook on life
Fate had to visit the Quims clinic, which we learned about from the coordinator Catherine (Kiev). She kindly provided information and consulted in good faith during her stay in Korea. We were met at the airport, brought to the clinic. Polite translators worked with us. Quickly diagnosed. We took into account the wishes for acceleration in time of treatment. The conditions in the ward are acceptable. We were surrounded by the constant attention of medical staff. Communication with the Son and Khan processors, the whole atmosphere of the clinic gave us hope for a speedy recovery and a positive outlook on life. Thank. Rahmet from Gulnara and Zamira.

"I am very happy for getting to know BOOKIMED, professionals really work there, and most importantly, they are not indifferent people
I have breast cancer and I went through chemotherapy in Moscow. Six sessions have passed. It was very difficult to tolerate these procedures. A doctor in Kazakhstan said that this is enough, it is necessary to switch to tableted chemistry. And Moscow offered to continue doing chemotherapy. Opinions are divided. It was necessary to find a third party. I accidentally found your site on the Internet. Ekaterina Koliko wrote very quickly. The benevolence of Katyusha was immediately arranged towards her. She asked me what I would like to go to. I said that I want to go to the Severance clinic in Korea. Katyusha approved my choice. I sent all the necessary documents and Katyusha quickly redirected everything to the clinic. They began to wait for the invitation. For some reason (and for what I already knew in the clinic), there was no invitation. I am very grateful to Katyusha that she was in touch all the time, supported me, gave me hope. We arrived in Seoul in the morning, we were met by a transfer, brought to the hotel. After lunch, they were already in the clinic, I began to take tests. Constantly with me was one of the translators. Girls translators are great fellows, these are Lida, Olesya, Sofia, Tatyana, Alena. Any question could be addressed, they always prompted. They are professionals. Always with a smile, polite, with enormous patience, and most importantly, they understand that they work with a special audience, with people who did not come to rest. Someone to find out the diagnosis, and someone to do the operation. Thank you so much to the girls. The clinic was impressive. Doctors are professionals. The equipment is super. I got the opinion of a third party, it coincided with the opinion of a doctor from Kazakhstan. I was prescribed a prescription, I bought medicines at the pharmacy and started drinking on arrival home. I also want to write about Darina, who was engaged in transfer (the transfer to the clinic was very convenient and met and carried out), the selection of the hotel was also always in touch, and if I had any questions, she quickly answered them. I want to say that I am very happy for getting to know BOOKIMED, professionals really work there, and most importantly, they are not indifferent people. I am grateful to the Almighty and all who were near me. And the words of the doctor gave me inspiration and inspired great hope, for the sake of these words it was worth a long way to go. Once again, many thanks to all.

Verified review.
The clinic is completely low level of service. We arrived at 12 noon and were held until 16.30 in the waiting room. This despite the fact that they knew that a patient arrived with stage 4 cancer, metastases in the spine. it’s very difficult for an old person with such a diagnosis to sit. My dad is 75 years old, my mother is 71. It is hard for a healthy, young one to sit in one place for almost 5 hours. Parents chose a place in 6 local wards. Single VIP is no different from her. The small room is stuffy and cramped. The attendant is provided with a seat. This is a roll-out mattress from under the bed, covered in leather or leatherette. There is no bedspread. We were given a blanket when asked. And Dad hung him on a nearby bed, so that from under it would not blow. He slept for 5 days in clothes on a mattress. On the day when they were supposed to do an MRI of the spine, my sister came to the reception several times asking her to take her mom early. As a result, the MRI was done at 14-30. All this time, Mom did not drink, did not eat in the evening. Terribly exhausted. They did an MRI for a long time, mom says probably 40 minutes and all this time she lay on a cold surface, froze very much and as a result, her mother was tormented by severe pain in the spine. When we sent mom to Korea, we thought that there mom would be well anesthetized, that Korea had the best drugs. When dad said that mom got worse there, that they are tormented by pains, from which she constantly cried, I asked to write the name of the pain medication. My sister immediately sent the name of pain relief to our doctor. It turned out she was given paracetamol (for some reason) and a tramadol tablet, while here Mom got pain medication three times a day with morphine. About what everything was indicated in the extract.

FAQ about Da Vinci Robotic System in Republic of Korea

What is Da Vinci medical robot?

Da Vinci robotic system is a unit to perform operations. A doctor manages the surgery remotely sitting at the special control panel.

Features of Da Vinci procedure abroad

There are the most popular destinations for Da Vinci system robotic surgery among Bookimed patients abroad.

  • neck and body of the uterus (hysterectomy and myomectomy);
  • prostate (prostatectomy);
  • kidney (nephrectomy);
  • bladder;
stomach (gastrectomy); thyroid gland (thyroidectomy).

The use of the Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery is not limited to this list. A doctor prescribes the procedure based on a specific clinical case.

The procedure is contraindicated in patients with:

  • infectious diseases;
  • large neoplasms;
  • intolerance to anesthesia.

Da Vinci procedure: pros and cons

Advantages of Da Vinci operation:

  • safety

80-92% of robotic operations go without complications. For comparison, open intervention - less than 70%.

  • no large scars

With the help of Da Vinci, a surgeon operates through the incisions up to 2 cm.

  • accuracy

The Da Vinci surgery system processes the physician's manipulations and transforms them into the smooth movements of the robot, eliminating the effect of the "trembling hand".

  • low blood loss

During the intervention, a doctor does not damage the large vessels, so a patient loses no more than 200 ml of blood. In case of traditional surgery, it is about 1,200 ml.

  • minimal pain

A doctor operates through small incisions that reduces postoperative pain.

  • quick recovery

The rehabilitation period takes 3-5 days. After open surgery, a patient recovers for 2 weeks.

Disadvantages of robotic intervention:

  • Da Vinci robotic system cannot remove large tumors
  • there are cases when Da Vinci damages healthy tissues
  • the cost of robotic surgery vs. traditional surgery. Some patients choose traditional intervention because of the Da Vinci procedure high cost.

Preparation for the Da Vinci robotic surgery

Preparation for Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery depends on the diagnosis. Often it includes:

  • consultation with a surgeon
  • ultrasound
  • urine and blood tests
  • consultation with an anesthesiologist.

Da Vinci procedure process

Da Vinci medical robot consists of two blocks:

  • the first block is operational. A surgeon controls the movements of the robot and directs the camera, which transmits the image with 20-times zooming.
  • the second block is a robot-manipulator. It has 4 hands: the first one holds the camera, the second and third perform surgical procedures, the fourth has a function of an assistant.
  • A doctor inserts the robot tools through several incisions up to 2 cm and fills the operated area with a special gas. It provides good visibility of the organs and allows to stop bleeding immediately.

Da Vinci operation takes 2-3 hours.

Rehabilitation

Patients are hospitalized after the surgery for 3-7 days. The Da Vinci robotic surgery cost is affected by the duration of the hospital stay.

If necessary, a doctor prescribes exercises under control of a physiotherapist to recover functions of the operated organ.

Risks and complications

9 in 10 Da Vinci procedures go without complications. It is 20% higher than after open intervention and laparoscopy.
