Authority on Gynaecological Tumours

Tumour surgery in the treatment of gynaecological diseases has been recognized as a high-risk procedure.

It is because it is necessary not only to remove the tumour tissue as well as the proliferating or metastatic lesion surrounding it, but also to avoid damage to the arteries, nerves and so on, in order to expect a therapeutic effect.

Jong Chol Ho, head of the gynaecological tumour department of Pyongyang Maternity Hospital, made a contribution to raising the country’s technique of treating gynaecological tumours to an advanced level by perfecting a new surgical method in this field.

When he ventured to launch a research into the surgical method, so-called radical surgery, there were not so many doctors in the world who mastered it.

In order to find a successful and highly effective surgical method and to acquire sophisticated surgical techniques, he continued to explore and make efforts.

Through this strenuous effort, he finally succeeded in establishing a new tumour surgical method.

On this basis, he completed the advanced method for treating gynaecological tumours as suited to the constitutional characteristics of the Korean women and introduced them into clinical practice.

So far, he has improved the health of many women who were supposed to live not so long, with his high medical skills, sophisticated surgical techniques and rich clinical experience.

A prestigious professor of a foreign country, after watching his operation, gave him the thumbs up.

Under his guidance, doctors in the department have become highly competent and the department continues to improve survival rates of patients with tumours.
