The Pediatric Surgery lab treats diseases of organs in the neck, chest (excluding the heart), and abdomen by surgery in children from newborns to junior high school students, and also conducts research. Under the motto "To Support the Future of Children," the lab believes that minimally invasive surgery, which does not hinder growth and development and puts little strain on the body, is especially necessary for children. Many cases of liver and biliary diseases gather at the lab, including from around Aichi Prefecture, and it pursues treatment and basic research on conditions such as biliary atresia. Pediatric Surgery has so far conducted research on cancer testing using urinary tumor markers, jointly with Hitachi, Ltd.

Since its founding in 1905, the department has supported dermatological care, medical education, and research in the Tokai region. The department accepts dermatology observerships from medical students, junior residents, and residents in specialty training on a rolling basis.

Plastic surgery treats congenital abnormalities of the body's surface, deformities following injury or illness, and defects left after tumor resection. For congenital conditions, it handles facial malformations such as cleft lip and cleft palate, malformations of the ears, limbs, and trunk, and birthmarks (nevi) and hemangiomas. For acquired conditions, it deals with facial trauma, facial nerve palsy, intractable ulcers, keloids, and lymphedema. Cosmetic surgery is not covered by health insurance, so the department does not perform it.
