Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that reconstructs lost tissue and works to bring regenerative medicine for the skin to clinical practice.

AboutAbout the lab
Rebuilding lost form and function.
The lab treats congenital conditions and reconstructs tissue lost to disease or injury, providing treatments that restore appearance and heal wounds cleanly.
To improve appearance, the lab also restores the underlying structures that cannot be seen from the outside, and reconstructs function as well. It uses cutting-edge techniques, from difficult operations such as microsurgery to laser treatment and cell-based regenerative medicine.
The lab values research that is close to clinical practice. It develops new materials jointly with basic research labs and companies, with the goal of bringing them to actual clinical settings.
