Heeseok Kang is an obstetrician-gynecologist specializing in robot-assisted surgery and uterine preservation. He serves as an Adjunct Professor at the Samsung Medical Center. Dr. Kang holds multiple awards for clinical excellence and surgical safety management.

Specialization and Surgical Approach

Dr. Kang uses minimally invasive techniques to treat complex gynecological conditions. Because he focuses on uterine preservation, he leads specialized clinics for that discipline and robotic surgery at Seoul Miz Hospital. The doctor treats uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts using advanced laparoscopic methods.

Dr. Kang utilizes the Da Vinci robotic system for high-precision procedures. This equipment allows him to perform robotic myomectomy and sacrohysteropexy for uterine prolapse. These techniques allow for smaller incisions and faster patient recovery times. He also treats pelvic floor disorders and urinary incontinence.
