How are we doing?
About the clinic
Kyphoplasty at Leadheal Hospital in Seoul, South Korea, is a minimally invasive procedure to treat vertebral compression fractures. This treatment helps patients recovering from trauma or osteoporosis by restoring the height of the spine. The hospital treats over 40,000 patients annually and holds a top rating from South Korea's Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service for its medical protocols.
Advanced Spine Procedures
The medical team uses percutaneous vertebral augmentation to repair damaged vertebrae. This method involves inserting a thin needle into the affected area under imaging guidance. Doctors then inject specialized bone cement to stabilize the bone and help it return to its original height. Patients can choose from different variants depending on their specific needs:
- Balloon kyphoplasty, which uses a balloon to create space before injecting the cement.
- Percutaneous vertebroplasty, where the cement is injected directly into the fracture.
The hospital focuses on a minimally invasive approach to reduce recovery time. Before recommending surgery, specialists look at conservative options like physical therapy and prolotherapy. A personalized plan is created for every patient based on their lifestyle and general health.
Surgeon Expertise
Dr. Sang Won Hwang leads the neurosurgery department as the Director of the hospital. He has over 25 years of experience in spine care and has performed 6,000+ surgeries. Dr. Hwang specializes in balloon kyphoplasty and artificial disc replacement. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kim Jang Hyo also provides care for spinal fractures, specializing in vertebroplasty and spinal fusion. The team works together to manage everything from the first consultation through final rehabilitation.
