• Gastrointestinal surgery FB

Greetings

In close collaboration with the Gastroenterology and Radiology departments, we provide surgical treatment (including chemotherapy with anticancer drugs) primarily for various digestive diseases, such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. Our treatment policy is based on standard care in accordance with the "evidence-based clinical guidelines" advocated by various academic societies and research groups. In addition, we also offer cutting-edge surgical treatments that take advantage of the uniqueness and expertise of Kitano Hospital, which is also a medical research institute. Furthermore, we proactively introduce surgeries (minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery and robotic-assisted surgery) that can mitigate any decline in patients' quality of life after surgery, and all of our staff strive to provide "surgical treatment that is gentle on the body and mind" as much as possible.

Characteristics (main treatments, medical equipment, pioneering initiatives, etc.)

The main target diseases in the field of gastrointestinal surgery are as follows:

esophagus

Esophageal cancer, reflux esophagitis, spontaneous esophageal rupture

stomach

stomach cancer

duodenum

duodenumulcer(ulcer), duodenal papillatumor(Main)(*1)

small intestine

Small intestinal tumor, Crohn's disease (*2)

colon

Colon cancer, ulcerative colitis (*2), colonconstriction(Kyosaku), constipation (*3)

liver

Acute hepatitis, primary liver cancer, metastatic liver cancer, benign liver tumors

biliary tract

Gallbladder cancer, bile duct cancer, cholelithiasis, gallbladder polyps

pancreas

Pancreatic cancer, endocrine tumors (*4), chronic pancreatitis

others

GIST (gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumor) (*5), hernia (inguinal hernia, femoral hernia, abdominal wall hernia)scar(Stamp)hernia) (*6), acute abdominal pain (gastrointestinalperforation(flash), intestinal obstruction, intraperitoneal bleeding) (*7), acute appendicitis, abdominal trauma (liver rupture, spleen rupture), general surgery such as wound treatment

Remarks

• *1 A duodenal papilla tumor is a tumor that develops in the area where bile enters the duodenum.
• *2 Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic diseases that cause inflammation of the digestive tract for unknown reasons.
• *3 Diverticulosis is a disease in which part of the colon wall protrudes outward in a pouch-like shape due to increased pressure inside the colon.
• *4 Endocrine tumors arise from cells that secrete hormones, and are the second most common type of tumor in the pancreas after pancreatic ductal cancer.
• *5 GIST (gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumor) is a tumor that occurs in the wall of the stomach or intestine. It is caused by the abnormal proliferation of specialized cells.
• *6 A hernia is a condition in which an organ or other part of the body escapes from its normal location.
  Inguinal and femoral hernias are conditions in which part of the peritoneum or intestine protrudes under the skin at the base of the thigh or leg.
  Incisional hernia is a condition in which organs in the abdominal cavity escape through a scar from abdominal surgery.
• *7 Acute abdominal disease is a general term for acute abdominal diseases.
  Symptoms include a hole in the digestive tract causing contents to leak out (gastrointestinal perforation), food getting stuck in the intestine (intestinal obstruction), and blood accumulating in the abdominal cavity (intraperitoneal hemorrhage).
