How are we doing?
About the clinic
Inguinal hernia surgery at Gibbeum General Hospital in Seoul, South Korea, uses the specialized Kang Repair technique to fix hernias without artificial mesh. This method is performed by highly trained surgeons from Seoul National University and offers a low recurrence rate of just 0.5%. The clinic is the only government-certified surgical hospital in Korea and has performed over 40,000 hernia operations.
The Kang Repair Technique
The hospital uses a unique mesh-free method called the Kang Repair. This technique uses the patient's own tissue to close the hernia rather than inserting plastic mesh. By avoiding mesh, the hospital reduces the risk of long-term pain and the need for future removal surgeries. Chronic pain occurs in less than 0.5% of cases with this method. Patients can choose between a robot-assisted surgery using the Da Vinci SP/Xi system or a traditional approach.
One-Day Treatment System
The clinic follows a fast-track process where diagnosis, surgery, and discharge happen on the same day. Most patients can eat immediately after the procedure because the hospital uses safe sedation or local anesthesia. This avoids the risks and recovery time linked to general anesthesia, making it safer for elderly patients. The surgeon uses a small incision hidden at the navel and closes the skin with medical adhesive instead of stitches.
Recovery and Results
Recovery is quick, with over 60% of working patients returning to their jobs within 3 days. Since there are no external stitches, patients can shower the day after surgery. The hospital has served international patients from 50+ countries and is a training affiliate for Seoul National University Hospital. The medical team includes expert surgeons like Dr. Kang Yoonsik, who developed the Kang Repair method, and Dr. Kang Hyun Suk, a specialist in robotic surgery.
Expert Surgical Team
The surgical department is led by several highly qualified specialists. Dr. Kang Yoonsik founded the clinic and holds an M.D. and Ph.D. from Seoul National University. Dr. Kang Hyun Suk is an active member of the Americas Hernia Society and an adjunct professor. Other key team members include Dr. Kim Changkyun and Dr. Ha Gwangil, who are both board-certified specialists with experience in advanced hernia repair and endoscopy.
