Gachon University Gil Hospital

The Gil University Hospital began receiving its first patients in 1958 and functioned as a gynaecological centre. Now it is a multidisciplinary medical centre that integrates several clinics:

• Main building,
• Oncology Centre,
• Cerebral Health Centre Gachon,
• Dental Centre,
• Gynaecology Centre,
• CheckUp Diagnostic Centre,
• Hospital for emergencies.

The Gil University Hospital has 36 specialised departments, including a genetics and pathology laboratory. Here you can undergo all the necessary examinations and receive adequate therapy. The most frequent choice for overseas patients is:

• Robotic surgery centre,
• Oncology department,
• Obsurgery Department,
• Comprehensive Diagnostic Centre,
• Spinal Centre,
• Cardiovascular Centre.

Experienced team of specialists

Our international patients are treated at Gil by specialists with more than 10 years experience. Every year, doctors undertake placements at leading hospitals in the USA, Europe and the UK. The results are discussed in weekly multidisciplinary advisory meetings with several specialists.

To diagnose and treat patients more effectively, more than twenty years ago the clinic introduced semi-automatic technology for the instant exchange of test results and laboratory analysis (CALS, PACS). The patient and doctor can monitor the progress of diagnosis and treatment in real time.

Multidisciplinary Medical Centre

Sometimes it is difficult to reach a precise diagnosis. Rare or atypical forms of illness require more detailed investigations and the advice of highly specialised specialists. At Gil Hospital, patients can have all necessary examinations and consultations with the right doctor within one medical centre.

International Department

The Gil Medical Center focuses on outpatient and inpatient treatment for international patients. Each department in the hospital cooperates with the International Department.

The International Department takes care of all consultation and examination procedures, translates medical documents and provides support for visa requirements.

Interpreters in the International Department speak Russian, English, Mongolian and Chinese.

The Navio Surgical System

For patients who suffer from long-term osteoporosis and osteoarthritis of the knee, the Gil doctors can offer total or partial joint replacement using the NAVIO portable robotic system.

Unlike a standard joint replacement procedure, no CT scan is needed prior to surgery. The Navio machine can create an accurate image of the joint using a special GPS probe. On the basis of the data obtained, the doctors reconstruct a 3D computer model.

The main advantage of the Navio robotic system is the precise positioning of the implants before they are inserted. This prevents premature wear and tear on the joint and guarantees many years of activity.

Robotic surgery

The Gil Hospital surgeons use the da Vinci Xi system to perform complex, minimally invasive operations. Several mechanical «hands» are controlled by a surgeon and perform surgical procedures through small openings, monitored by video cameras.

The surgeon operates the robot on a special rig. Monitors display the surgical field in 3D with multiple magnifications.

Thanks to robotic surgery, patients are better able to undergo surgery with less blood loss and a faster recovery time. The engineering embodied in the da Vinci robot enables complex surgical procedures that are beyond the reach of a surgeon’s hand.

The da Vinci robotic system is used in urology, gastroenterology, proctology, obstetrics and gynaecology, and otorhinolaryngology.

Novalis Tx Radiation Therapy

This advanced linear accelerator allows the application of radiation therapy by means of charged particles — photons and electrons. Novalis Tx is equipped with an advanced GPS navigation system which precisely locates the tumour.

The main advantage of radiation therapy at the Gil Hospital is the reduced number of treatment sessions and the high precision of the treatment. Novalis Tx targets tumour cells with an accuracy of 1 mm.
