The Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine is operated under the slogan of ‘patient-centered anesthetic management’ based on ‘devotion and share’, Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital's founding philosophy.
With the founding philosophy of ‘devotion and share’ and the slogan of ‘patient-centered anesthetic management’, We provide anesthetic services for organ transplantations, cardiovascular surgeries, lungs and esophagi, cerebral nerves, pediatrics, robot surgeries, same-day surgeries for simple procedures, and surgical intervention in vasography rooms outside ORs in 24 operating rooms including smart OR, robot OR, and hybrid rooms designated for cardio-cerebrovascular surgeries.
The Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine at Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital is staffed with professionals specializing in each department and equipped with a variety of advanced monitoring devices, pursuing pre/post-operative patient safety and best surgery prognosis. We have successfully launched smart operating rooms with the introduction of the ENDOALPHA system, the first integration system for operating rooms in the country for the purpose of accurate care, thorough infection control, and patient safety.
We are also actively committed to helping patients with post-operation tension release and acute pain control. Pain Center treats a wide range of acute and chronic pain disorders including chronic pain, headache, facial pain, trigeminal neuralgia, facial spasm, chest and abdominal pain, lower back/limb pain, cancer pain, postherpetic neuralgia, joint disease, and spinal disc herniation. Doctor's office, outpatient treatment room, mobile X-ray fluoroscopy (C-arm) treatment room, extracorporeal shock wave room, and examination room are all built in a close proximity, enabling efficient patient care and at the same time, removing hassles from those who have difficulties moving due to pain so that they can benefit from safe and accurate diagnosis and treatment on the same day.
We are continuously researching how advanced medical techniques and therapeutic devices including minimally invasive interventional procedures can mitigate acute or chronic pain of patients in an effort to provide improved quality of life and quick return to daily life.
