Yonsei University Gangnam Severance Hospital medical staff have successfully treated Angeles Yvonne N-Jel from the Philippines, who was born with the rare congenital condition brachypolysyndactyly, the hospital said Wednesday. However, limited health care access and financial hardship prevented Angeles from receiving treatment, forcing her to live with the hand deformity into adulthood. According to Yun, the operation was highly challenging, combining the removal of finger tissue with tissue preservation and reconstruction techniques. Following her surgery, Angeles was discharged just one day later and underwent three weeks of outpatient care before safely returning to her home country on Monday. The procedure was carried out under the hospital’s overseas patient invitation program, established in 2009, which brings patients from underserved regions to Korea for medical treatment.
