The lab treats gastrointestinal cancers and other diseases with surgery that is gentle on the body, and studies both surgical techniques and the mechanisms of disease.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for surgery that truly helps patients.
The lab performs highly precise minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal tumors such as esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancer, as well as for benign conditions such as reflux esophagitis, morbid obesity, and inflammatory bowel disease.

The lab also conducts basic research on elucidating the pathology of gastrointestinal cancers and developing new treatments, and develops new medical technologies and surgical education systems, training young surgeons with a broad perspective.
