surgery Department of Urology

Professor and Chair, Director of Clinical Department

We are pioneers in laparoscopic and robotic surgery, equipped with two different robotic surgical systems, da Vinci and Hinotori, and we provide high-quality minimally invasive procedures.
In addition to robot-assisted surgery, we offer laser therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using multiple advanced laser devices, ensuring appropriate endoscopic treatments. For prostate biopsy, we perform MRI-fusion guided biopsy.
