Advanced Gastroenterology

The gastroenterology department focuses on early cancer detection and polyp removal. Dr. Teerha Piratvisuth leads the team, which uses AI-assisted colonoscopy to improve diagnostic precision. The program reports a 45% adenoma detection rate – above many international benchmarks.

Since 2015, the clinic has trained with Sano Hospital in Japan. Specialists use Narrow-Band Imaging (NBI) and the NICE classification system with magnification. This helps identify early-stage gastric and colorectal cancers. The clinic reports over 27,600 successful colorectal cancer prevention cases and a 0% perforation rate.

Specialized Pediatric Care

Samitivej International Children's Hospital provides tertiary care for infants and adolescents. The Srinakarin branch has an 8-story building with 111 beds dedicated to pediatric patients. The facility includes specialized centers for epilepsy, trauma, and rehabilitation.

The Pediatric Blood and Cancer Center performs haploidentical stem cell transplantation. This allows parents or siblings to donate when a perfect match isn't available. The hospital reports a 92% one-year survival rate for bone marrow transplant patients. Surgeons also use ultra-small instruments for neonatal procedures, with incisions measuring only 2 mm.

Spine Surgery and Rehabilitation

Orthopedic surgeons, including Dr. Chaiyapruk Pundee, perform minimally invasive spine procedures. Patients undergoing microsurgical or endoscopic discectomy for herniated disks typically walk within 3 hours. Most go home after 1–2 nights.

The restorative medicine team creates tailored recovery programs after surgery or spinal cord injuries. Specialists use Isokinetic muscle testing and Biodex balance equipment to track progress. Rehabilitation includes suspended exercise systems and individualized training to help patients return to daily activities.

Technology and International Services

Samitivej operates as a Smart Hospital with digital ward technologies. Patient rooms feature the Paramount bed system, which includes automated fall monitoring and out-of-bed alerts. The Samitivej PACE system gives relatives real-time updates during surgery.

The hospital offers several services for international patients:

• Teleconsultation via Samitivej Virtual Hospital for second opinions.
• Treatment planning based on submitted medical records.
• In-hospital interpreters fluent in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Burmese, and Indonesian.
