AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for treatments that are gentler on the body
The lab handles clinical care and research for urological diseases such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, and urinary stones.
Aiming for treatments that place less burden on the body, the lab actively performs laparoscopic surgery.
In addition to general care, the lab provides advanced medical care, such as prostate biopsy that overlays MRI and ultrasound images, and diagnosis and treatment of male infertility.
For people considering joining the lab or training there, the lab continues to publish its "Urology Newsletter" (Hinyokika Tsushin), which conveys what the lab is like.
