Leaders in Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Pancreatobiliary Care Through Innovation and Expertise

The Division of Gastroenterology at Samsung Medical Center has a long-standing history of excellence in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders. With extensive experience in both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, our division provides world-class medical services supported by multidisciplinary collaboration and a commitment to patient-centered care.

Our team, consisting of dozens of highly skilled specialists, continues to lead the field through clinical innovation, advanced technologies, and contributions to both national and international gastroenterology practice.

Advanced Endoscopy: ESD, POEM, ERCP, FibroScan, EUS

Our division delivers advanced endoscopic care grounded in decades of expertise. Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) is routinely used for early gastric and esophageal cancer, colorectal neoplasia, and precancerous lesions, offering curative outcomes while preserving organ function. For achalasia, Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) offers a highly effective, minimally invasive solution. Our team's proficiency in Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) ensures accurate treatment of biliary obstruction, pancreatic strictures, and related cancers.

We also rely on FibroScan for real-time, non-invasive assessment of chronic hepatitis and liver fibrosis. Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) supports diagnosis and therapy for pancreatic tumors, subepithelial lesions, and lymphadenopathy.

In addition, our institution actively leads clinical trials for innovative therapies in hepatitis and inflammatory bowel disease, ensuring access to the most advanced treatment options. With high
