About the clinic
Appendectomy at Gibbeum General Hospital in Seoul, South Korea, is performed using advanced single-port laparoscopic techniques. The hospital is the only government-certified surgical-specialized general hospital in Korea, serving as a training affiliate for Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH). Patients benefit from a quick transition from diagnosis to surgery within 3 hours.
Single-Port Surgical Method
Surgeons at the facility focus on single-port laparoscopy. This method uses a single small incision through the navel. Because the entry point is hidden in the umbilical area, it leaves almost no visible scarring. This approach also helps patients recover faster and experience less pain after the procedure.
Safety and Efficiency Standards
The hospital maintains high safety standards, reporting an infection rate of less than 1%. Before surgery, doctors use ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis, which helps patients avoid unnecessary radiation from CT scans. Most patients stay in the hospital for only 1 to 2 nights and are typically safe to travel within 2 days. The facility provides 24/7 access to board-certified surgeons for emergency cases.
Expert Surgical Team
The surgical department is led by highly qualified specialists with academic backgrounds from top Korean medical institutions. The team includes:
- Dr. Kim Changkyun, a general surgeon and clinical consultant at Seoul National University Hospital.
- Dr. Ha Kwangil, a general surgeon and adjunct professor at Konkuk University College of Medicine.
- Dr. Kang Hyun Suk, a member of the American Hernia Society who holds board certification in colonoscopy.
- Dr. Lee Jinwoo, who serves as the Robot Surgery Director and specializes in gallbladder and anorectal procedures.
