Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus. It may be performed for different reasons, such as uterine fibroids that cause bleeding or pain, sliding the uterus from its normal position, cancer of the uterus, cancer of the cervix and ovaries, endometriosis, abnormal vaginal bleeding, adenomyosis, or thickening of the uterus. Bumrungrad International Hospital performs specific procedures, including partial, total, and radical hysterectomies. Their experienced doctors are highly trained and qualified to give the best-appropriate treatment according to the patients' medical conditions. MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY (UROLOGY)     Minimally invasive procedures are those in which surgeons make tiny incisions. These procedures are generally carried out for kidney, bladder, and prostate disorders. These are known to be highly effective for complex urologic diseases. Bumrungrad International Hospital has a well-equipped urology and nephrology department. The minimally invasive surgery experts in this department are highly experienced. They offer the treatments successfully, resulting in fewer side effects, reduced treatment time, and less postoperative pain. Chronic Dry Eye Relief Chronic dry eye disease occurs when the tears evaporate too quickly. In this disease, the eyes do not produce enough tears to keep them moist. It can result in severe symptoms such as stinging, burning, redness, inflammation, swelling, and other severe conditions of the eyes. These signs and symptoms may worsen during certain times, such as being in an airplane, being in an air-conditioned room, or riding a bike. Patients may experience difficulty wearing lenses. Bumrungrad International Hospital has a qualified team of specialists. These specialists are highly experienced in the treatment of chronic dry eye disease and other such symptoms. A large number of patients are getting successful treatments every year. In vitro fertilization (IVF  In-vitro fertilization is one of the most effective forms of assisted reproductive technology. It is a treatment in which eggs are retrieved from a woman's ovaries. The eggs are fertilized with sperm in vitro. This combination of egg and sperm leads to the formation of the embryo. The embryo can even be stored. It can also be frozen and then transferred to the woman's body. As in-vitro fertilization must be performed under the supervision of highly professional doctors, Bumrungrad International Hospital has a team of highly experienced surgeons. They pay attention to every little factor, thus achieving outstanding results. Bumrungrad International Hospital is a leader in medical technology and innovative patient services. Among the most recent advancements, Bumrungrad has expanded the Precision Medicine department, which offers personalized cancer treatments and the latest breakthrough therapies, mostly from the United States and Europe. Another cutting-edge technology we use is CardioInsight, a completely non-invasive diagnostic technology for diagnosing heart arrhythmias and the only active center in the Asia Pacific. In order to remain a leader in cutting-edge technology, Bumrungrad was the first IBM Watson for Oncology site in the world. IBM Watson, a machine-learning AI, assists physicians by analyzing patient data against thousands of historical cases, hundreds of medical journals and textbooks, the latest clinical trials, and more than 12 million pages of text. This innovation in technology allows doctors and specialists to compare their findings against big data and provide the most accurate treatments possible. What began as a surgical treatment for prostate cancer has now become the Bumrungrad Robotic Surgery Center. It utilizes state-of-the-art technologies for robotic-assisted surgery, such as MAKOplasty, Mazor X, and the da Vinci System, to allow for more consistency, accuracy, and faster recovery times with less invasiveness for joint, spine, and cancer patients. Compassionate care is one of Bumrungrad International’s principle values. It has been featured by Newsweek, the International Herald Tribune, Reader’s Digest, CBS 60 Minutes, The Financial Times, and Inside Man on CNN. The reportage covers Bumrungrad’s quality treatment and medical care abroad, placing it high on the list of medical tourism hospital destinations. Nearly all Bumrungrad doctors speak English, and the hospital employs more than 200 interpreters to cover the language needs of patients from nearly any country. The patients and their families can receive end-to-end service from pickup and drop-off logistics as well as hotel reservations on arrival through our Bumrungrad International Airport Representative Office at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Convenience plays another vital role at Bumrungrad, and the hospital’s one-stop medical campus is able to provide diagnostic tests, specialty referrals, and treatment within days, not weeks, so international patients can get the care they need and return home sooner. Bumrungrad International Hospital also practices a one-price policy for all patients, meaning there is no difference in costs for local or international patients of any nationality. Through compassion, comfort, convenience, and coordination, Bumrungrad goes the extra mile to ensure that every patient is treated equally and with care, no matter where they are from. That’s why the Thai name Bumrungrad means "care for the people."
