"Minimally-invasive laparoscopic surgery improves cancer patient's quality of life."

Based on the surgical skills and experience accumulated over the years, Shihwa Medical Center opens a Laparoscopic Surgery Center and provides full-scale treatment for cancer. Since the wound incurred in laparoscopic surgery is smaller than that in ventrotomy, it can greatly reduce the complications of intestinal obstruction caused by adhesion of the intestine to the incision site. In addition, the recovery rate is fast, and the hospitalization period can be shortened.

In cancer treatment, the skills of the specialist greatly affect the surgical outcome and prognosis. Due to the nature of laparoscopic surgery, oncologists from various fields collaborate organically in consideration of the characteristics of each patient and the degree of disease progression. Therefore, we provide prompt and accurate treatment from early diagnosis of stomach and colon cancer to examination and surgery in which presence of metastasis is checked. In addition, we try hard to improve the survival rate of cancer patients and minimize sequelae and complications.
