The Transplantation Surgery Department makes every effort to improve the quality of life of patients with under-functioning liver, kidney, pancreas, intestines, and other organs through their transplantation.
The clinic is famous for 100% successful kidney transplantations.
Cell transplantation of the islets of Langerhans is a much safer option for patients with type 1 diabetes compared to pancreas transplantation. It was made possible thanks to the experience of the Transplantation Surgery Department at Samsung Clinic.
The transplantation team is the leader in laparoscopic liver resections with the highest number of successful surgeries in Korea.
Benefits of the Transplantation Department at Samsung Clinic:
New operation protocols.
The most common complications after liver transplantation are related to the bile ducts. To reduce the risk of complications, doctors use a new technique. First, they resect the portal vein and bile duct in the liver, and then dissect them. Next, an anastomosis of the bile duct is performed.
A blood-incompatible liver transplantation was successfully performed without rejection or other complications. Transplantation incompatible with the blood type is also performed on kidney recipients.
Internships abroad.
Specialists of Samsung Clinic performed liver transplantation at Dar Al Fouad Hospital in Egypt and at the National Children’s Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. The team’s success in overseas hospitals has gained a high reputation in the international transplant community.
