It is composed of medical staff with the best surgical technology that successfully performs a nal conservation surgery over 99% of more than 700 surgeries a year. Besides, the Department of Gastroenterology performs 2,700 colonoscopy, 750 colon pylorectomy, and 85 digestive tract stents per year.
  • Robotic surgery
    Robotic surgery has the advantage of laparoscopic small scars and rapid recovery and securing a good surgical field of view, enabling laparoscopic surgery or surgery on areas that are difficult to access with the surgeon's hand through a freely moving robotic arm, and enhancing the precision of surgery. Currently, the Colorectal Cancer Center is the host organization of the Asian Robotic Colorectal Cancer Surgery Society. It has been invited to Europe and the United States beyond Asia to teach robotic surgery methods and present guidelines for robotic surgery.
  • Laparoscopic surgery
    Laparoscopic surgery has a smaller incision than open surgery, so the surgical wound l ooks good, and the pain caused by the wound is small, and the recovery speed is fast. This center is leading laparoscopic surgery and various research achievements and new knowledge in related fields.
  • Integrated treatment system
    Medical staff from multiple departments gather in one place to provide customized treatment for one patient.
