Children's organs are still developing and their functions are immature. Therefore, it is necessary for pediatric surgeons with specialized knowledge and training to perform surgeries on children.
We understand that surgery for your child can be a source of great anxiety for your family. At our pediatric surgery department, we strive to provide clear and easy-to-understand explanations to both the patient and their family. Our top priority is ensuring appropriate and safe treatment. We explain when unnecessary treatment is not needed and provide thorough explanations for necessary treatments before proceeding. Whether or not surgery is planned, please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns about your child's surgical condition.
We have also created a page at the bottom of this page that explains the main diseases treated in pediatric surgery in an easy-to-understand way. Please refer to that as well.
Our pediatric surgery department has a strong staff of five this year, and we provide medical care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Please feel free to consult us about any suspected pediatric surgical issues, including emergencies.
In our department, we consider the burden on patients and their families and perform surgery as a day surgery (no overnight stay) whenever possible. Many surgeries, such as those for inguinal hernias and undescended testicles, can be performed as day surgery, so please feel free to consult us.
We strive to perform surgeries that leave minimal scars, and actively pursue minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. We also have four pediatric surgeons certified by the Japanese Society of Endoscopic Surgery, and perform advanced endoscopic surgery safely (there are very few hospitals in Japan that have four certified pediatric endoscopic surgeons). We also focus on ensuring that scars are healed cleanly in every surgery.
All of our pediatric surgery staff are specialists of the Japanese Society of Pediatric Surgery. All surgeries are performed by staff with specialized knowledge. We also have three pediatric surgery instructors who are even higher-level specialists, and we strive to perform safe and careful surgeries (there are very few hospitals with three pediatric surgery instructors).
