We provide patientcentered, personalized medical services to ensure the health and happiness of our patients. Notably, Korea University Anam Hospital has achieved remarkable success in the following three major surgical areas:

The liver transplant team at Korea University Anam Hospital boasts a high survival rate and provides the best treatment for patients.

2. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation(TAVI)

Korea University Anam Hospital is also a leader in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat aortic valve stenosis, providing an alternative to open-heart surgery for high-risk patients. This procedure involves inserting an artificial aortic valve via a catheter to restore heart function. Professor Cheol-Woong Yu, an expert in this field, has successfully performed over 280 TAVI procedures, making him one of the most experienced practitioners in South Korea. 

 

3. Transoral Robotic Thyroidectomy(TORT)

Professor Hoon Yub Kim, a pioneer in this field, has successfully performed over 1,500 robotic surgeries and has been training medical professionals worldwide in TORT techniques.
