Total Hip Replacement can restore the function of a severely damaged hip by replacing the femoral head and acetabular surface with artificial components. The procedure may be suitable for patients with advanced arthritis, hip deformity, traumatic joint damage, or avascular necrosis when pain and disability significantly affect quality of life. Prior to surgery, doctors assess bone quality, joint anatomy, medical history, and activity requirements to select an appropriate implant and surgical plan. After the operation, physical therapy, safe movement training, and follow-up assessments help patients gradually return to everyday activities.

Established in 1989, the ISO accredited hospital is located in Seoul, South Korea and has 2700 beds, providing comprehensive urological, reconstructive, and pediatric or adult urinary care for local and international patients.

Bladder Augmentation (Cystoplasty) is a reconstructive surgical procedure used to increase the capacity of a bladder that is too small, stiff, or unable to store urine at sufficiently low pressure. It may be considered for selected patients with conditions such as neurogenic bladder, severe bladder dysfunction, or other disorders that have not responded adequately to conservative treatment. During the procedure, a segment of intestine or other suitable tissue may be incorporated into the bladder to increase its storage capacity.

Established in 1989, the ISO accredited hospital is situated in Seoul, South Korea and has 2700 beds.

Burch Colposuspension helps restore support to the bladder neck and urethra by elevating and stabilizing the surrounding vaginal tissues. This can reduce unwanted urine leakage that occurs when pressure inside the abdomen rises. The procedure does not involve placement of a synthetic mid-urethral sling and may be considered in selected women based on their symptoms, anatomy, previous surgery, and treatment preferences.

The surgical plan is individualized according to the extent of tissue damage, previous operations, blood supply, infection status, and overall health.

Established in 1989, this ISO accredited hospital in Seoul, South Korea has 2700 beds and offers advanced urology, endourology, laser surgery, and minimally invasive treatment services.

Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate may be considered for patients with moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, particularly when medications are ineffective or complications of bladder outlet obstruction develop. Before treatment, the urologist may assess urinary flow, prostate size, bladder function, urine testing, and other relevant findings. During HoLEP, the enlarged prostate tissue is carefully enucleated using a holmium laser and removed from the bladder for tissue analysis when appropriate.

Ileal Conduit

Choosing Asan Medical Centre for Ileal Conduit gives patients access to experienced urological surgeons, advanced urinary imaging, modern reconstructive surgical facilities, specialized stoma-care teams, and structured postoperative monitoring. Established in 1989, the ISO accredited hospital in Seoul, South Korea has 2700 beds and provides specialized urinary diversion and uro-oncology care.

Ileal Conduit is performed under general anaesthesia, often as part of a larger operation such as radical cystectomy. After the bladder is removed or bypassed when clinically indicated, a segment of the ileum is prepared as a conduit and connected to the ureters. The opposite end is brought through the abdominal wall to create a stoma. After surgery, patients receive guidance on stoma care and urine collection, while monitoring focuses on infection, bleeding, bowel complications, urinary leakage, kidney function, and stoma-related problems.

Established in 1989, the ISO accredited hospital is located in Seoul, South Korea and operates 2700 beds, with modern reconstructive urology, urodynamics, urinary imaging, pediatric urology, and rehabilitation infrastructure.

Mitrofanoff Procedure can provide an important treatment option for appropriately selected patients who require an alternative method of bladder emptying. Treatment planning considers the underlying bladder disorder, bladder capacity and pressure, urethral accessibility, kidney function, previous urinary procedures, ability to perform intermittent catheterization, and overall health. A detailed urological assessment helps determine whether a Mitrofanoff channel is appropriate and whether additional procedures, such as bladder augmentation, may be required.

Pyeloplasty

Pyeloplasty can provide an effective treatment option for appropriately selected patients with UPJ obstruction. Treatment planning considers the severity of obstruction, degree of hydronephrosis, kidney function, symptoms, recurrent urinary infections, crossing blood vessels, previous procedures, and overall health. A detailed urological assessment helps determine whether surgical reconstruction is appropriate and supports selection of the most suitable open, laparoscopic, or robotic approach.

Radical Cystectomy is performed under general anaesthesia, with the surgical approach determined by tumor characteristics, anatomy, previous treatment, and overall health. After bladder removal, the surgeon creates a urinary diversion, such as an ileal conduit or neobladder, to allow urine to drain from the kidneys. Patients are closely monitored after surgery for bleeding, infection, blood clots, bowel complications, urinary leakage, electrolyte disturbances, and other potential complications.

Trans Urethral Resection of Prostrate (TURP)
