About Wooridul Spine Hospital
Wooridul Spine Hospital is the world’s most specialized and experienced spine surgery center, having performed over 600,000 spine procedures since its founding in 1982 by Dr. Sang-Ho Lee — a pioneer of minimally invasive spine surgery whose techniques are now taught in medical schools globally.
Wooridul’s exclusive focus on the spine — unusual for a hospital — has resulted in an unparalleled concentration of expertise. The hospital performs over 12,000 spine surgeries annually and has trained thousands of spine surgeons from around the world through its renowned fellowship programs. Its minimally invasive techniques result in significantly shorter recovery times (many patients are discharged within 2 days of surgery) and lower complication rates than conventional open spine surgery.
For patients with chronic back pain, disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or other spinal conditions who have been told they require surgery, Wooridul offers a combination of expertise, proven techniques, and outcomes that is difficult to match anywhere in the world.

Patient Reviews
The international patient department at Wooridul Spine Hospital made everything seamless. From my first inquiry to discharge, every step was handled professionally. I would not hesitate to return.
Outstanding quality of care. The surgeons here are clearly world-class, and the nursing staff were attentive around the clock. Clean, modern facility. Highly recommend for international patients.
My experience at Wooridul Spine Hospital exceeded every expectation. The English-speaking coordinator was available day and night. The price was a fraction of what I would have paid at home.
