Initially established solely as a medical room of the Gyeongjeon Transportation Co., Gyeongjeon Hospital began to take shape as it took over Danakamaru Hospital located at #47, Seosomun-dong, Jung-gu on September 1, 1944. Thereafter, the hospital began operation of the department of general surgery in earnest when manager Kim Won-bae was inaugurated in 1947, immediately after the country’s liberation. During the Korean War, the level of healthcare in clinical departments such as the department of general surgery and the department of orthopedics was greatly improved. The level of healthcare in the department of general surgery developed one step further when doctors who had received formal education were discharged through a state examination for doctors.

After the HanilGeneral Hospital transitioned into a general hospital, as one of major clinical departments of the HanilGeneral Hospital, the department of general surgery did its best to provide healthcare services based on its long history of skilled medical teams. In particular, the department has made great strides in burn treatment, breast cancer treatment, revascularization and hepatobiliary calculus treatment. This department devotes itself to being a reputable department of general surgery in Korea and aboard, as well as making every endeavor to become a surgical department that can be thoroughly trusted by all patients.

Major equipment units of the department of general surgery include blood vessel diagnostic equipment, blood flow testing equipment, mammotomes, ultrasonic blood flow measuring instruments, anal electromyograph, anal pressure measuring instruments, and biliary tract endoscopes. In review of statistics of the number of patients in 2005, over 20,500 total patients were hospitalized and the actual number of inpatients was counted at 1,883. The inpatients were in the hospital on average for 10.9 days, with 11,710 outpatients treated by the hospital.

The department of general surgery is currently operating specialized sub-clinics such as a burn center, a breast endocrine clinic, a vascular disorder clinic, a laparoscopic surgery clinic, and a colorectal and anal clinic. This department continues to study and make efforts to establish a digestive organ center and a cancer center through cooperation with the department of gastroenterology and the department of radiology.
