Hidefumi Kinoshita（Kinki/Osaka）
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.
