Sep 30, 2025
Balsang Hospital, a joint hospital, announced on the 30th that Director Chung Gu-hwang (Orthopedic Surgeon) of the joint center successfully performed knee artificial joint replacement surgery on 96-year-old super-aged patients.
As Korea is rapidly aging, the number of patients undergoing artificial joint surgery is steadily increasing, and the age group of patients is also gradually increasing.
However, in the case of super-aged patients with chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes, the risk of surgery is high, so it is most important to carefully check the expertise of hospitals and medical staff. Accordingly, Barunseang Hospital operates a consultation system with internal medicine, anesthesiology pain medicine, and family medicine departments along with thorough preoperative examinations to closely evaluate the patient's condition and prepare for possible risks. In addition, based on repeated clinical experience and high proficiency, customized artificial joint surgery is being performed on patients of various ages and underlying diseases.
Director Chung Gu-hwang said, `Recently, among patients in their 90s, the number of surgery on both knees at the same time is increasing. In the surgery of elderly patients, systematic consultation and rapid surgery system are the key to reducing the physical burden of patients. "The hospital is applying an anhydrous blood-free and minimally invasive system to maintain immunity and speed recovery, and after surgery, it operates a rehabilitation program tailored to each patient's recovery stage to help improve the quality of life."," he stressed.
