Features of the Clinic

CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AT SNUH CLINIC

Seoul National University Hospital has the largest children's hospital in South Korea. It provides diagnosis and treatment of pediatric diseases in 11 areas in 16 departments. The rooms at SNUH Children's Hospital are arranged in such a way that every child feels comfortable - walls with funny pictures, brightly coloured furniture, and toys. In addition, the hospital has modern diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, which allows for procedures with a high level of safety.

At SNUH Children's Hospital, significant medical developments have taken place thanks to the efforts of doctors and scientists. For example, in 1985 they conducted the first successful in vitro fertilization and the birth of a baby in South Korea. Also in 2011, leading paediatricians and neonatologists in South Korea were able to deliver a premature baby weighing 370 grams.

In addition, specialists at Children's Hospital excel in oncology and oncohematology, cardiology and cardiac surgery, pediatric neurology, cochlear implantation, pediatric orthopaedics and surgery. For example, oncologists achieve 80-90% of stable remission in patients with different types of cancer, cardiac surgeons perform about 400 heart operations a year, plastic surgeons help to correct cleft lip in 280 little patients.

SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL ONCOLOGY CENTER

The SNUH Cancer Center consists of 15 departments and 9 multidisciplinary centres. Supported by the National University, the Center conducts numerous cancer research studies and searches for effective treatments. For example, in 2018, the clinic conducted more than 150 clinical trials and studies.

Several doctors are involved in the treatment of each patient and together they select the optimal therapy plan according to modern international protocols. Annually, more than 700 neurosurgical interventions and 600 radiosurgical operations for brain tumours of various complexity, more than 1,200 breast tumours and up to 1,000 operations for stomach cancer are performed at SNUH Oncology Center. Since 1988, more than 1,000 liver transplants have been performed. The success rate of cancer treatment at the clinic is among the highest in the world. When tumours are removed, doctors do everything possible to preserve the organ. For example, neuromonitoring techniques in thyroid tumours can save the patient's voice in almost 100% of cases.

The clinic's most recent development is the introduction of Syepse, an interactive platform that contains a database of information on diseases and treatments for cancer. With the help of this system, doctors are able to draw and exchange information between specialists from other hospitals to develop individual therapies and improve the effectiveness of treatment for cancer patients.

DEPARTMENT OF ONCOHEMATOLOGY AT SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

The department for the treatment of benign and malignant blood diseases at SNUH Clinic is considered one of the largest in South Korea.

Neurosurgery at the SNUH Clinic is one of the priority areas. Every year, 3,800 brain and spinal cord surgeries are performed here. In addition, the clinic offers radiosurgical treatment with the latest generation Gamma Knife (about 700 procedures per year). The device has an improved navigation system, so tumour removal is even more accurate with minimal damage to healthy tissue. The risk of complications after the procedure does not exceed 3-7%, and the success rate of treatment reaches 90%. Because tumour removal with Gamma Knife does not require external incisions, patients are allowed to go home after 2 days.

TRANSPLANTOLOGY AT SEOUL UNIVERSITY STATE HOSPITAL

One of the most sought-after areas of the SNUH Clinic is organ transplantation, namely kidney, liver, pancreas, heart, lung, and cornea. The clinic performed its first kidney transplantation in 1969, and liver transplantation in 1988. Since then, the number of such operations has reached 400 per year. But the most important is the effectiveness of transplants. For example, 99% of liver transplant surgeries are successful, and the 5-year survival rate of patients is 82% and higher. The 5-year survival rate of patients after kidney transplantation from a living donor is 92%, which exceeds U.S. rates.
