Seoul National University Hospital

Features and specializations of the hospital

All data is stored digitally. The medical records of the patients treated there are in the general system of the hospital and are available to the attending physicians. This contributes to the speedy implementation of the prescribed therapy and helps to avoid errors in prescribing drugs and procedures. Patients and those who came with them as companions can follow the course of treatment through an intelligent system, in particular, check the schedule of treatment and tests.

• Hematology

The doctors of the clinic specialize in the treatment of malignant and benign blood diseases: lymphoma, leukemia, myeloma, anemia, hemophilia, and so on. In the hospital, specialists perform bone marrow transplantation. In recent years, doctors have performed more than one and a half thousand successful bone marrow transplants, of which about a thousand are allogeneic (using donor cells), and the rest are autologous (taken directly from people).

• Neurosurgery

About 4,000 neurosurgical manipulations are carried out there annually. As part of the research activities of the hospital, about 70 scientific publications are issued every year.

The Gamma Knife Center operates at the hospital. Doctors treat patients with targeted radiation that minimally affects healthy cells, which significantly reduces the risk of side effects. The success rate for this therapy is 90%. The duration of the necessary hospitalization is about two days.

• Cardiac surgery

Every year, doctors perform about 2.5 thousand operations, the most common of which are heart valve surgical interventions and coronary artery bypass grafting.

It has a high success rate – the highest survival rate in Korea.
