Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital Shares Foot Surgery Expertise with Thai Doctors

Observation of Various Treatments Including Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Block and MICA

Suncheonhyang University Cheonan Hospital announced on the 16th that it provided Thai doctors with the opportunity to observe foot surgery and shared advanced medical know-how.

The training, organized by the Foot and Ankle Team of Suncheonhyang University Central Medical Center's affiliated hospital, was part of an international medical exchange project and involved two Thai foot specialists, Achapolmaprajong and Busakonchaleda Phong.

The observation-style training included ultrasound nerve block procedures, hallux correction surgery, lesser toe deformity surgery, hallux valgus surgery (MICA), and resection arthroplasty.

The Thai doctors said, "The ultrasound nerve block is a relatively simple procedure with significant therapeutic effects, which was surprising. Especially, MICA has a fast recovery and excellent correction effect, so we want to try it quickly when we return to our country."

Professor Kim Woo-jong, who organized the training, stated, "The treatment range of ultrasound nerve block is diverse, and MICA is a surgery that is increasingly utilized worldwide."
