About

Patients in search of advanced surgical care can turn with confidence to Professor Dr Kim Seon Hahn, a consultant colorectal surgeon at UM Specialist Centre whose practice spans more than thirty years. His particular strength lies in minimally invasive approaches, above all robotic and laparoscopic surgery for colorectal disease, with cancer forming the main focus of his work. Few surgeons can match his operative record: he has carried out more than 3,500 laparoscopic and 1,000 robotic colorectal resections.

International experience has shaped much of his career. He completed a research fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic in the USA, where he was honoured with the outstanding surgical research fellow award, and he has since been appointed visiting professor at institutions including the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, the Royal Brisbane Hospital and the University of Western Sydney in Australia, and the National University of Singapore.

Before taking up his post at UMSC in 2022, he served as a Professor at Korea University Anam Hospital in Seoul. His standing in the field is also reflected in his leadership roles: he is the Founding President of the Korean Association of Robotic Surgeons and has chaired the Korean Society of Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgeons. For patients considering robotic or laparoscopic treatment of colorectal cancer, his depth of international experience and surgical skill offer genuine reassurance.
