The Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine is largely divided into anesthesiology and pain treatment. The field of anesthesia observes patients to ensure that all commonly performed surgeries (inpatient and outpatient surgery) and various tests involving pain and risk can be performed smothly and safely. In addition, it helps to perform appropriate anesthesia and recover early, and manages postoperative pain for surgical patients, and provides pain-free delivery in the delivery room.

All doctors in the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine prioritize the safety of patients above all else in patient management due to the nature of the Department of Anesthesia, so all doctors cooperate and are fully committed to preoperative patient evaluation and anesthesia planning. To safely protect patients’ lives from all possible risks before and after surgery, we provide the best anesthesia services with advanced anesthesia equipment and safety monitoring equipment.

The pain field is a place to relieve and treat patients’ pain by treating and observing various acute and chronic pain and end-stage cancer pain through outpatient services. We are committed to patient treatment based on our excellent staff and rich experience. Pain is a kind of warning that informs us of abnormalities in our body, so it is necessary to recognize this warning quickly and treat it. But if it is not properly treated and becomes chronic, it can cause abnormalities in major organs such as the heart, lungs, brain, and spinal cord, even weakening the immune system making patients susceptible to other diseases, and causing depression and anxiety. The Pain Clinic provides early detection of pain, causative disease, treatment based on the mechanism of pain, drug therapy, nerve block method, etc., and prevention and education of pain disease.
