Hysteroconserving surgery without hysterectomy
World's first development!

The story of the uterus told by Dr. Kwon Yong-sun, who presented a new paradigm in uterine surgery.

- 『Today's Uterus is Clear』, a collection of essays by author Kwon Yong-sun, which contains his sincere sympathy with patients as a doctor, professor, and human being, as well as his deep anguish and arduous efforts.
- A story created with countless patients who have met each other as 'human beings' beyond the boundaries of the medical profession - Professor Kwon Yong-sun of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Eulji University Hospital.
"Today's Clear Uterus," a collection of truthful and moving essays written in various medical settings, including clinics and operating rooms, has been published.

This book is not simply a medical essay. It is a true and moving account written by author Kwon Yong-sun, who has worked tirelessly to restore not only the physical but also the mental health of those suffering from long-term illness and pain, as well as those at the crossroads of life and death, enabling them to enjoy the simple pleasures and peace of everyday life as women, mothers, and individuals.

That's why it contains the intimate stories and truths of life that I encountered while meeting patients, as well as moments when not only illnesses were recovered, but a person's life was completely transformed.
The story of a patient who was in despair due to repeated miscarriages regaining hope in life thanks to the author's words of comfort, and the story of a patient who was advised to have a hysterectomy but saved her uterus, go beyond simple medical cases and become a story of healing and recovery, empathy and solidarity.

"Today's Clear Uterus" refers to the state of the uterus that has been formed healthily, well-maintained, and is now able to do its part thanks to the author, Professor Kwon Yong-sun.
The womb that gave me happiness I could never have dreamed of before is like the weather forecast that tells me, “You can start your day refreshed today,” on a bright and clear day without a single cloud.
This is because the time we spent treating patients together and the health we maintained together turned despair into hope, sadness into joy, and pain into happiness for not only patients but also doctors.


Thanks to this, "Today's Clear Uterus" will be a warm comfort not only to medical professionals in the medical field, but also to all of us living in today's complex and challenging times, saying, "You are precious," and "Your life is precious."

"yes.
Surgery is possible.
The uterus can be preserved and the adenomyosis can be completely removed.
About three months after the surgery, the function and structure of the uterus will stabilize, so you will be able to try to get pregnant, and I think you will have a much higher fertility and childbirth ability than now.
Oh, of course, it's natural for menstrual pain and menstrual flow to return to normal.
As a result, more than 90 percent of patients experience symptom relief and can live with a normal uterus without medication.”
"Really? I've met with other famous professors, and they all said it was impossible and that I should have it removed. Is it really possible?"
“I repeat, it is possible.”
--- p.18

"Professor, how about blocking the uterine artery and then performing surgery? It won't be easy, but if we pause for a moment, perform the surgery, and then restore the uterus to its original state, it might work."
“In what way…?”
“There is an endoscopic clip that temporarily blocks the blood vessel.
“I thought you might try using it.”
--- p.52

The professor opens his mouth hesitantly.
“A pregnant woman who received surgery for adenomyosis is currently hospitalized, and there is a risk of premature birth.
“I am over 36 weeks pregnant and the baby is growing well, so I am about to give birth.”
… …
“Even if you do emergency surgery on the weekend, it’ll probably be on-call. Why not do it during regular hours on Friday, the day before the weekend?”
“I was going to do that too, but the patient insisted on giving birth past the 36th week.
I want to keep the baby in the womb as long as possible before giving birth, so I think I'll have to wait until the weekend, but I'm having some contractions, so I'm not sure if I can hold out until then.
“This is the first time I have had a cesarean section after a hysterectomy.”
“Okay, I see.
“I don’t think anything will happen this weekend, but just in case, I’ll stay here instead of going to Seoul.”
The mother and her family don't know much.
That more than one professor is so meticulously concerned about the patient's birth.

"professor.
I know very well the sincere heart you have shown by my brother's side and cared for him.
Thank you so much.
“You will become a good doctor, sir.”
I still don't quite remember how I finished my hospital shift that day.
I had no appetite and I didn't like doctors.

That day, after the patient's older sister left, I quietly returned to the lab and cried out loud.
I felt like a child crying endlessly in his mother's arms.
The hospital work wasn't going well.
For several days, I couldn't quite remember whether I had been seeing a doctor or having surgery.

… …
Every night I would stare at the ceiling and fall asleep from exhaustion.
Then suddenly, I realized that I really had to become a good doctor. That was what I truly wanted to do. The words the patient said he wanted to say to me were words he said to me for fear that I would become like this.

If there were truly good doctors in the world, the barrier to patients meeting them should not be high, and all patients who receive appropriate treatment should be able to regain a healthy life.
We must not create a world filled with people who only want to receive treatment from famous doctors, no matter how much time and money is required.
We must create a world where people can meet comfortably, receive treatment easily, and become completely healthy, with fewer patients.
--- p.216

Only then does a smile spread across the couple's lips.
I don't know yet what the end of my treatment will be, but at least in this moment when patients and their guardians smile, I feel proud that I am someone who can provide help and hope to them.
I am a person who helps through therapy.
There will come a time when we will have to stand before a hopeless patient and say, "There is no cure, I cannot help you."
But even though my shoulders are heavy, I'm very thankful that now is not that moment.

--- p.226

It was so ironic.
A patient who had come to us wanting to have a baby despite having a history of more than ten failed IVF treatments and miscarriages, now has a uterus that is painless and has beautiful menstrual cycles, and now has no desire to have a baby.
But it didn't change over time.
It's been like that from the beginning.
Although she may have children someday if she wants to, the patient is likely to enjoy life as is and live with her husband until she reaches menopause.
Now I have finally realized and found the life I truly want.

--- p.255

Doctors treat 'people', not 'human-like' living beings.
That person's death means that a living being, like the doctor himself, has died.
Because of this, the agony and pain are indescribably great.
A doctor who sends away a patient he has treated may give up his medical career and live in sorrow.
No matter how much one tries to rationalize a patient's death, it is the most extreme pain a human can experience, and he may live his entire life with the pain and anguish of that death.
Just by imagining this, you can imagine how difficult and challenging the job of a doctor who treats people is.
