About us

We focus on several aspects of the urological field including kidney transplantation, urological cancer, female urology, pediatric urology, and urinary stone. In each field, we have several specialists. Regarding kidney transplantation, the number of surgeries is more than 100, and the 10-year graft survival rate is more than 90%, which is an excellent outcome. In addition, we have nearly 300 surgical cases of kidney cancer, the highest in Japan. Robotic surgery has been adopted in partial nephrectomy and radical prostatectomy and the number of cases is rapidly increasing. Our basic research has allowed for providing immunotherapy using γδ cells to patients with metastasis from urological cancer such as kidney cancer, bladder cancer, or prostate cancer can receive. As mentioned above, we provide the latest medical service corresponding to the diversifying demands from patients.
