Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body's own joints and causes inflammation. Joint stiffness, swelling, and pain usually appear symmetrically on both sides, mainly in the small joints of the hands and feet. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the impact on daily life. If you suspect symptoms, please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Rheumatoid cervical spine disease is a condition of the neck (cervical spine) that can occur in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Unlike common neck conditions, its main feature is instability of the first and second cervical vertebrae, the uppermost bones of the neck. If symptoms worsen, the spinal cord can be compressed and may lead to paralysis, so please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Robotic Cholecystectomy
#robotic surgery, #cholecystectomy, #gallbladder, #laparoscopy, #single-port surgery, #minimally invasive surgery, #gallstones, #cholecystitis, #gallbladder polyp, #hand tremor, #body tremor
Robotic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery in which a surgeon controls a robotic system to remove the gallbladder. 'Minimally invasive' means the operation is performed through small openings in the body. It may be considered as treatment for gallbladder conditions such as cholecystitis, gallstones (cholelithiasis), and gallbladder polyps. Please discuss the choice of surgical method thoroughly with your treating specialist before making a decision.2026-06-26

Robotic Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery
#robotic surgery, #laparoscopic surgery, #hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, #liver donation, #minimally invasive surgery, #living donor liver transplantation, #surgical scar, #open surgery, #lack of energy, #lethargy, #persistent fatigue
Robotic surgery is a method in which the surgeon sits at a console (control device) and operates by controlling robotic arms. Using 10x magnified three-dimensional (3D) images and freely moving robotic arms, it can allow more precise manipulation than laparoscopic surgery. It is also used for liver, bile duct, and pancreatic surgery, and for liver donation surgery. Whether robotic surgery is suitable, and which method is used, depends on each patient's condition, so please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Robotic Mastectomy for Breast Cancer
#Breast cancer, #Mastectomy, #Robotic surgery, #Nipple-sparing, #Breast reconstruction, #BRCA, #Nipple necrosis, #Minimally invasive surgery
Robotic mastectomy is a minimally invasive surgery in which a surgeon controls a robotic system to remove the breast. A “mastectomy” refers to surgery that removes the entire breast. Compared with conventional surgery, the incisions are smaller and placed differently, offering a cosmetic advantage. Breast reconstruction may also be performed at the same time if needed. Whether this approach is right for you should be decided after a thorough discussion with your doctor.2026-06-26

Robotic Surgery for Colon and Rectal Cancer
#colorectal cancer, #rectal cancer, #robotic surgery, #minimally invasive surgery, #general surgery
Robotic surgery can offer several advantages when operating on cancers of the colon and rectum. However, robotic surgery is not the right choice for every patient. Do not rely on information from the internet to choose a surgical method; choose it based on an accurate diagnosis by a surgical specialist.2026-06-26

Robotic Surgery for Gastric Cancer
#gastric cancer, #robotic surgery, #gastrectomy, #laparoscopy, #minimally invasive surgery, #gastric cancer surgery, #chemotherapy, #gastric cancer stage, #hand tremor, #body tremor
Robotic surgery for gastric cancer is a minimally invasive operation in which a surgeon controls a robot to treat gastric cancer. 'Minimally invasive' refers to a method of operating through only small openings in the body. The surgical method (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) is decided by your treating specialist after considering society guidelines, the latest research findings, and the patient's condition together. Please discuss the most suitable surgical method thoroughly with your treating specialist.2026-06-26

Robotic Surgery for Hernia
#hernia, #abdominal wall hernia, #inguinal hernia, #robotic surgery, #laparoscopy, #minimally invasive surgery, #single-port, #recurrence, #hand tremor, #body tremor
A hernia is a condition in which an internal organ moves out of its normal position and pushes out through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. The basic treatment for hernia is surgery, and surgical methods include open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic surgery. A hernia can recur even after surgery, so ongoing management by your treating specialist is needed regardless of the surgical method. Please discuss the choice of surgical method thoroughly with your treating specialist before deciding.2026-06-26

Robotic Surgery for Liver Cancer and Liver Transplantation
#liver cancer, #liver transplantation, #robotic surgery, #general surgery, #liver cirrhosis
Robotic surgery is a method in which the surgeon controls a robot and operates through a few small openings in the abdomen. A more expensive operation is not always the better choice. Do not decide based on this encyclopedia alone; please consult a surgical specialist to find the safest surgical method for the patient.2026-06-26

RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is the most common virus that causes bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways) and pneumonia in infants and young children. It is highly contagious, and most children are infected at least once before the age of 2. Premature infants, children with congenital heart disease, and people with weakened immunity need to take extra care.2026-06-26

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a major mental illness in which the ability to distinguish reality from one's own thoughts and perceptions is impaired. In Korean, the disorder was previously called jeongsinbunyeolbyeong (literally, "split-mind disease") but was renamed johyeonbyeong in 2011; the new term means "tuning the strings," reflecting the idea that mental confusion arises when the brain's neural signaling is not properly tuned. With appropriate treatment and management, people with schizophrenia can maintain daily functioning.2026-06-26

Scrub typhus is an acute febrile infectious disease that occurs mainly in the fall. It is caused by the bite of a chigger mite larva carrying the bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi. Covering the skin well during outdoor activity and showering afterward are key to prevention. If flu-like symptoms develop after outdoor activity in the fall, please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Seasonal depression is a condition in which depression appears repeatedly and is closely tied to a particular season, such as fall or winter. The accurate diagnostic name is "major depressive disorder, with seasonal pattern." Changes in the amount of sunlight and disruption of the body's circadian rhythm are presumed to be among the causes. If low mood is serious enough to interfere with daily life, please consult a psychiatrist.2026-06-26
