The only treatment option for prostrate cancer used to be surgical removal, accompanied by side effects such as erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, rectal injury and others.
However, High Intensive Frequency Ultrasound (HIFU) machine and St. Peters Hospital's expertise allows a safe and non-surgical treatment for prostrate cancer. HIFU treatment for prostrate cancer projects high intensity frequency ultrasound on the cancer area with great prevision, causing necrosis of the cancer cells. Once treated, dead cancer cells are ejected from the body as part of bodily waste.

50% of women in childbearing age group encounter tumor in their uterus, such as myoma uteri and adenomyosis. While some are benign, others are harmful masses resulting from an overgrown muscle within the uterus wall. If left untreated, it can cause atypical bleeding, anemia, pain, miscarriage, and/or infertility.

At St. Peter's Hospital, our experienced physicians treat myoma uteri with HIFU machine, a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure that attacks the tumor with high intensity frequency ultrasound. The mechanism works similarly to using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight; an acoustic lens is used to concentrate multiple intersecting beams of ultrasound on a target, burning away the mass without affecting the surrounding area. HIFU is the safest and surest treatment for uterus tumor.

If your face starts twitching randomly and uncontrollably, you may be suffering from hemisfacial spasm (HFS). Hemifacial spasm (also called tic convulsif or facial twitch) is an involuntary twitching of the facial muscles on one side of the face. While not life threatening, it can cause constant physical and mental aggravations, and can also lead to more serious paralysis of the facial muscles if left untreated.

St. Peter's Hospital surgeons excel at Microvascular decompression (MVD), a surgery performed for relieving abnormal compression of a cranial nerve that causes HFS. MVD is an effective and safe procedure that requires precise surgical skills, a hallmark of St. Peter's surgical team.

Adult Stem Cell Therapy
St. Peter's Hospital provides stem cell therapy as a fundamental solution for conditions that are able to be treated via natural treatment.

Cell therapy is the process of deriving adult stem and regenerative cells from the patient's own marrow and delivering them to damaged or injured areas of the body to help repair or replace damaged tissue, reduce inflammation and improve blood flow.
Stem cell therapy takes approximately 3 days, and requires inpatient care.
The following conditions can be improved with adult stem cell therapy: cerebellar atrophy, developmental disease, Parkinson's, leukodystrophy, Krave's disease, brain damage from external impact (car accidents, etc.), cerebral infarctin, autism, multiple sclerosis, meniscus destruction, rheumatism.

Stomach cancer and colon cancer are easy to miss due to lack of early symptoms, but they are one of the most common cancers found in adult. Fortunately, both types enjoy great rate of successful recovery if found and treated at an early stage. Regular check-ups are imperative for discovering stomach and colon cancer before too late.

St. Peter's Hospital offers a individualized consultation process, including a variety of inspection categories for determining risk levels and areas of concern for each patient.

Thyroid cancer has the higheset onset rate among cancer in South Korea, but it also enjoys a 98% survival rate if treated at an early stage, and is considered a 'benevolent cancer'. But lack of easily determinable early symptoms and a 30% metastases rate makes it a tricky cancer to treat as well. Following symptoms are common early indications of thyroid cancer that should be examined as soon as possible:

Thyroid Cancer, now treatable with little or no visible scars.
BABA Endoscope Procedure allows the physician to approach the tumor with a specialized endoscope from a small incision (less than 1 cm) made in the armpit region. This innovative procedure makes it possible for all patients to enjoy a scar-free treatment while still benefiting from the surgeon's expertise at removing the mass effectively.

Post-operation rehabilitation process is crucial for a full recovery. Treatment for the aftereffect of nervous system diseases, rehabilitation, treatment of dysphagia, walking, etc.

End-ball is a non-surgical intragastric balloon inserted while deflated and blown up to an appropriate size once placed into the stomach.
Once inflated, the balloon provides a constant sensation of comfortable fullness within the gut, thus reducing abnormal food intake. As a minimally invasive procedure that leaves no mark upon the body, this procedure is safe from any complications or infections.
