Kidney transplantation is a surgery that transplants a healthy kidney into the body to replace a kidney that has lost its function. Unlike dialysis, it can restore most of the kidney's various functions (removing waste products, regulating electrolytes, secreting hormones that stimulate blood cell production, and others), which makes it one of the main treatment options for end-stage kidney failure. Whether and how to have a transplant depends on each patient's health condition, so please be sure to decide through consultation with a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Microsurgical reconstruction is surgery in which tissue taken from another part of the patient's own body is transplanted to repair a large defect in the skin or tissue caused by conditions such as trauma, cancer, or diabetes. It is a highly complex operation in which blood vessels 1–2 mm in diameter are connected under a microscope, and it is used for legs at risk of amputation and for repairing defects after head and neck cancer surgery.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

Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplantation

The liver and kidneys have difficulty recovering on their own once they are severely damaged, so transplant surgery may be needed. Because this is a very important, major operation, please consult a transplant specialist thoroughly and receive medical care.2026-06-26
