Hi everyone. I would like to throw in my short and precise two cents on my own personal operation(inguinal right) with Dr. Kang.

I visited his hospita(on a Friday) due to research from the internet and many sources and was worried with the idea of a mesh situated inside of my body for eternity! Of course, surgery is not a walk in the park, so a person would do plenty of homework to find the best solution.

I met up with Stephen K, to help provide me with the English translations to communicate about my issue, fill out paperwork , and to KNOW what Im getting into. He is very polite and vital towards the whole procedure if your Korean is weak. He was there from the start to the finish.

After initial paperwork, I spoke to Dr. Kang to get his confirmation and the pre-op rundown. After the consultation, the usual routine of ultrasound/urinate in a cup/blood test/etc was done, I had to wait for the actual surgery.

The surgery took about 25 mins and i was awake the whole time. I made conversation with the doctors(including Dr. Kang) while the operation took place. The whole process seemed quicker than I thought and Im glad that it wasn’t too painful.

After surgery, I opted for a one night stay at their ward. It’s a hospital, not the Hilton, so dont expect cushy beds and mannered patients(I recommend getting a private room.) Meals were quite satisfactory, but difficult to eat because of posture(you were on the bed and bending down on a table connected to the bed).

The next day, I was discharged with medication and clear instructions on how to handle my body and went straight home on a 4 hour bus ride home. Did I feel sore? Not so much. I felt comfortable laying down on my own bed. Rested a lot and took it easy and immediately went to work on the following Monday.

I could walk, but at a slow rate for the first few days. I played it safe and didnt want to aggravate my situation. About 2 weeks after the operation, I could walk full speed.
Bending was somewhat inconvenient for a few days as well. After 2 weeks, I had NO problems.

Currently its been 6 weeks after my surgery and Im back living life!
I can drive fine, run and started to lift weights again. Do I experience any side effects? Absolutely ZERO.

So to sum it all up:
+Hospital is easy to access(in the city)
+Well organized hospital with an English translator to assist you
+Quick surgery
+Fast Recovery time
+Support from staff

-Terrible beds
-Many patients were there when I went(the hospital treats other problems as well.)

That’s all what I can remember. I hope my UNBIASED and FACTUAL personal experience can aid in your decision of getting treatment or answers some questions you may have. As always, please practice due diligence(Do your research) and If you would like to know any additional details, please don’t hesitate to post or send me a message!
