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

Thyroid cancer is cancer that develops in the butterfly-shaped thyroid gland at the front of the neck. Prognosis varies greatly by type; papillary carcinoma, which accounts for more than 90% of thyroid cancers in Korea, grows slowly and responds well to treatment, so its outlook is relatively favorable. However, some rarer types have a poorer prognosis, so please be sure to decide on an accurate diagnosis and treatment through a medical specialist.2026-06-26
