I travelled to Gangnam Severance for complex degenerative‑spine surgery. The Spine Hospital team completed multi‑disciplinary evaluation before planning minimally‑invasive procedures. The International Healthcare Center coordinated my whole journey: pre‑operation work‑up, admission, discharge and English‑language medical records. Shuttle bus service from nearby metro stations made commuting easy. Post‑operative rehabilitation guidance was clear. My chronic radiating leg pain improved greatly after recovery.
