About Product:
•Single-Incision Surgery for Obstetrics and Gynecology
The Woman’s Gynecologic Oncology Clinic at Incheon ST.Mary’s Hospital specializes in single-incision laparoscopic procedures, including surgeries for uterine cancer. This method involves making a 1.5-2 cm incision inside the navel to insert surgical instruments, resulting in minimal pain, faster recovery. Once the surgical wound heals, the scar becomes virtually invisible.
Incheon ST.Mary’s Hospital achieved Korea’s first successful total laparoscopic hysterectomy using this method in 2008, and in 2009, it performed the world’s first single-incision cervical cancer surgery, including pelvic lymph node dissection.
•Robotic Surgery for Urology
Robotic surgery is particularly effective for urological cancers, such as kidney and prostate cancers. Incheon ST.Mary’s Hospital pioneered the ischemia-free partial nephrectomy, an advanced procedure that removes kidney tumors and reconstructs the organ without halting blood flow. This highly complex surgery was first commercialized in Korea by the hospital, which has completed over 1,000 cases. This is a record unmatched in Asia.
