Features of the Clinic
Women's Oncology and Endoscopy Centre at Cheil General Hospital
In this department, the clinic treats all diseases of the female reproductive system. Patients from abroad most often come here for treatment of:
- Ovarian cancer;
- Uterine myoma;
- Uterine polyp;
- Endometrial cancer.
More than 3,000 operations are carried out here laparoscopically, using a method of surgery that avoids bleeding due to the absence of a large incision in the area where the procedure is carried out.
When cancerous tumours are detected, oncologists use brachytherapy – placing the radiation source close to or inside the neoplasm, so that healthy tissue is not negatively affected.

The Perinatal Unit provides care in these areas:
- Intrauterine fetal treatment;
- External obstetric fetal reversal;
- Uterine myoma in pregnancy;
- Age-related pregnancy;
- Rhesus conflict in the mother and the baby;
- Intrauterine developmental delay in the foetus.
Breast and thyroid cancer treatment centre at the Cheil Clinic
This department at the hospital differs from those at other medical centres in that it has a high breast saving rate of over 80% for breast cancer surgery. In cases where this is not possible, breast plastic surgery is carried out at the same time as the operation.
For thyroid cancer, oncologists at the Cheil Clinic perform radiofrequency ablation of the affected organ tissue – a very precise method that preserves healthy areas and leaves no scars.
Cosmetology, Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery Centre at Cheil General Hospital
Thanks to state-of-the-art equipment at the Cosmetology and Aesthetics Centre, doctors successfully carry out a large number of procedures aimed at maintaining the beauty and youthfulness of patients. The department is staffed by specialists in various fields who help women with the following problems:
- dermatitis (atopic, seborrhoeic, allergic, etc.);
- pigmentation;
- acne;
- age-related changes.
New techniques are used for cosmetic manipulations, which are well established in the world. Doctors work with carbon dioxide laser, IPL and Laser Toning – after these procedures there is no lasting discomfort in the form of significant reddening of the body area or a ban on the use of cosmetic products.
The doctors at the Plastic Surgery Centre carry out the surgery based on the individual characteristics of the patient and with a preliminary assessment of the result – this makes it possible to predict the outcome of the procedures straight away. All types of breast reconstruction – augmentation, reduction and lift – are carried out here.
