Clinic opening

Organ transplantation refers to a surgery that replaces the organs of terminally ill patients who are difficult to recover with existing treatments with healthy organs donated from brain dead or living bodies. It is the best treatment method for patients with organ failure. Organ transplantation in Korea has continued to make remarkable progress, starting with living kidney transplantation in 1969 and following the successful kidney transplantation of brain-dead patients in 1979.

Inje University Ilsan Paik Hospital began performing living kidney transplant surgery in 2001, liver transplantation in 2006, and was designated as a “Brain Dead Patient Management Organization (HOPO)” in 2005, specializing in brain death diagnosis, organ harvesting, and transplantation. We are recognized as the top professional organization in the field of organ transplantation and are leading the way.

The Organ Transplant Center of Inje University Ilsan Paik Hospital is equipped with a transplant medical team with many years of abundant clinical experience and skills, including a kidney, liver, and cornea transplant team, which is the last hope for patients with end-stage organ failure. In addition, we provide consultations on organ transplantation and donation, pre- and post-operative patient education, and more through an organ transplant coordinator with the best medical staff who can manage various complications that may occur after transplantation. Pharmacists, nutritionists, and transplant staff Experts in each field, including wards and social workers for socioeconomic support, work as a team to provide thorough patient management programs and practical professional counseling and education services.

We will continue to conduct cutting-edge research and treatment to revitalize brain-dead organ donation, enable many people waiting for transplant and their families to gain a new life through transplant, return to society and lead a healthy and happy life, and resolve the imbalance in organ supply and demand, such as blood type incompatibility transplant. I'm going out.
