Pediatric Surgery Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that creates the medicine of the future through pediatric surgical practice and research.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for better surgery
The Pediatric Surgery lab is the pediatric surgery department of Osaka University, engaging in clinical care, research, and education as the pediatric surgery division of the university hospital.
It covers a broad range of pediatric surgery, including neonatal surgery, fetal therapy, endoscopic surgery, and transplantation medicine.
The lab values a cycle in which insights gained from patients lead to research, and the results are then returned to clinical care.
Research is carried out in both clinical and basic research.
Key terms
- Biliary atresia
- One of the diseases treated in pediatric surgery. The lab studies liver fibrosis, changes in the immune response, and quality of life in adulthood.
- Intestinal failure
- A condition in which, in severe cases, small intestine transplantation must be considered. Patients are registered across multiple institutions to investigate causes and prognostic factors.
- QOL
- Patients' quality of life. The lab is examining it in adults with biliary atresia, comparing them with those who have undergone liver transplantation.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts basic and clinical research centered on the themes below. In addition to studies examining the clinical course of patients with biliary atresia, cystic lung disease, and intestinal failure, it carries out basic research using animal models of regeneration-inducing fetal therapy and small intestine transplantation.
*Illustrative imageLiver Fibrosis and Immune Response in Biliary Atresia
The lab focuses on how liver fibrosis and the associated immune response change over time in biliary atresia. The aim is to clarify the pathology and explore new treatments.
*Illustrative imageQuality of Life in Adults with Biliary Atresia
The lab examines quality of life (QOL) in adults with biliary atresia who retain their native liver, comparing them with those who have undergone liver transplantation.
*Illustrative imageLong-Term Follow-Up Study of Cystic Lung Disease
The lab reviews the clinical course and test results of patients with congenital cystic lung disease treated in the department, aiming to clarify the pathology. At outpatient visits, it also performs blood sampling, pulmonary function tests, and motor development assessments to examine the long-term effects of the disease and surgery.
*Illustrative imagePatient Registry and Prognostic Factors in Intestinal Failure
In a multicenter collaboration, with the cooperation of severely ill patients diagnosed with intestinal failure, the lab investigates the causes of intestinal failure and how small intestine transplantation is being performed. By identifying prognostic factors, it aims to determine appropriate treatments and improve small intestine transplantation techniques.
