София • Oct 7, 2019
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.

Korea University Anam Hospital has world-class robotic surgery skills, especially in cancer surgery. It has developed the world's first robotic oral thyroid cancer surgery method that removes tumor without visible scars by inserting a surgical robot arm into the patient's mouth.

In addition, not only the bladder cancer pre-stage robotic surgery was the first and most successful in Asia, but also the first robotic breast reconstruction surgery in Korea reduces the size of the scar by one-tenth. On top of that, bloodless or minimal blood transfusions are applied to reduce the risk of infection and speed up postoperative recovery. Patients from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia go here for treatment.

FAQ about Prostatectomy in Republic of Korea

When is prostatectomy indicated?

  • the patients' age over 70 years
  • cardiovascular disorders
  • taking medicines which influence the blood coagulability.

What are the types of prostate surgery?

There are such types of surgical treatment for prostate cancer:

  • Open prostatectomy. A doctor removes the prostate gland together with the urinary tract, seminal vesicle, and lymph nodes. The operation is performed through the 12 cm incision in the abdomen. The disorder of erectile and urinating functions are quite often observed after this prostate removal type.
  • Laparoscopic prostatectomy. A doctor makes 3-6 incisions small on the abdominal wall and places the optic system inside. It illuminates the surgery area and transmits the image on the screen to control operation. This prostatectomy type is less traumatic compared to the open: a patient recovers faster, the urinating and erectile function are preserved in most of the cases.
  • Da Vinci prostatectomy. The surgery is assisted with Da Vinci robot. Due to this, the operation is low traumatic and accurate. The robot stabilizes the doctor’s movements and makes them precise. Such a prostatectomy is performed through 1-2 cm incisions. 90% of patients after robotic prostatectomy preserve the urinating and erectile functions.

The prostatectomy cost depends on its type. The open prostate removal is usually the cheapest one.

How is prostate removal performed?

The prostatectomy includes such steps:

  • Preparation for prostatectomy

It includes medical survey, urine and blood tests, X-ray, ECG, Ultrasound, CT.

  • Prostatectomy process

A patient is under general anesthesia. Depending on the prostate surgery type, a doctor makes incisions and removes the gland. The duration of the procedure is 2-4 hours. Then a patient stays in a hospital for 3-5 days. After prostatectomy a doctor places the catheter to withdraw the urine. It is taken off in 7-14 days.

  • Postoperative recovery

Its duration depends on the prostatectomy type. A patient needs to keep diet, take antibiotics and painkillers. In 7 days after the surgery, a doctor removes stitches. In 1 month a patient can return to work, in 2 months — to physical activity.

What affects cost of prostate removal surgery?

The cost of prostatectomy is affected by the following factors:

  • The location of the hospital. The prostate cancer surgery cost in Indian hospitals is about 1.5-2 times cheaper than in Turkish or Czech ones. South Korean and German or Spanish hospitals offer 2 times higher price than Turkish medical facilities. The cost difference is explained by the price policy within countries. The quality and effectiveness of prostatectomy remain at about the same high level.
  • Type of the prostate gland removal. The robotic-assisted prostatectomy is 20-30% higher than the open or laparoscopic prostate removal surgery.
  • Doctor's experience. Specialists who have been performing prostatectomies for decades, have international certificates, and patients' positive reviews can ask for a higher fee. It affects a prostatectomy cost.

What does prostatectomy cost include?

The cost of prostatectomy usually include:

  • the prostate surgery itself
  • medicines
  • anesthesia
  • doctor's fee
  • admission.

In most of the cases, such services as a transfer, language assistance (if necessary), extra-consultations with a doctor are paid additionally.
