Facility details

【Location】
Located just a 2-minute walk from Hankyu Takatsuki-shi Station and an 8-minute walk from JR Takatsuki Station, our hospital enjoys an exceptionally convenient location and serves as a key provider of community healthcare in the Hokusetsu region.

【Other Features】
Our hospital is designated by the Japanese government as a Specified Function Hospital, a designation given to hospitals recognized as meeting the requirements for safely providing highly advanced medical care, developing and disseminating new medical technologies, and fulfilling other specialized functions.

The Central Operating Building, located on the west side of the hospital, houses 20 operating rooms that provide 24-hour, 365-day coverage. This is one of the largest facilities of its kind in western Japan, enabling us to respond to emergency surgeries at any time. We also have two hybrid operating rooms equipped to perform major surgeries under general anesthesia while simultaneously conducting advanced diagnostic imaging. Approximately 13,000 surgical procedures are performed safely and consistently each year, including highly urgent surgeries and emergency cesarean sections.

The Main Building A, completed in July 2022, houses an Emergency and Critical Care Center, which accepts approximately 10,000 emergency patients annually and provides emergency medical care for critically ill patients.

The main hospital building serves as a hub for advanced medical care. As a Regional Cancer Care Core Hospital, the hospital has established a Comprehensive Cancer Care Center on the 12th floor, providing comprehensive support for cancer patients throughout the entire process, from hospitalization and treatment through discharge and home care.

The center includes a Cancer Genomic Medicine Management Office, Genetic Counseling Room, and Precision Medicine Center, along with state-of-the-art facilities for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

The Department of Cardiology and Department of Neurosurgery wards also provide inpatient rehabilitation, supporting patients in returning to their daily lives and society as early as possible through continuous rehabilitation beginning at an early stage of treatment.

In the outpatient area, newly established organ-specific and disease-specific units aim to provide patients with a “one-stop” medical care service, enabling them to receive comprehensive care in a coordinated setting.

As part of “Takatsuki, an Advanced City for Health and Medical Care,” our hospital plays an important role in providing advanced medical care while supporting the local healthcare system. As a medical care hub serving the entire Hokusetsu region, we will continue our commitment to providing safe, high-quality medical care.

Available Programs

• Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer [Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University Hospital]

  We provide diagnosis and treatment for pancreatic and biliary diseases using state-of-the-art advanced medical technologies.

  Equipped with the latest ERCP and EUS-dedicated endoscopes. We perform one of the highest numbers of pancreaticobiliary endoscopic examinations and treatments in Japan. Our expertise in histological diagnosis and drainage procedures for pancreatic and biliary cancers is internationally recognized, and our specialists are frequently invited to conduct live endoscopic demonstrations worldwide. We also have extensive experience in endoscopic tumor ablation and cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy. English-language support is available. When a mass lesion is identified, histological diagnosis is performed using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). In cases where no mass is detected on endoscopic ultrasound but pancreatic cancer is still suspected, diagnostic evaluation using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is performed to differentiate carcinoma in situ.

• Unicompartmental Joint Replacement Surgery【Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University Hospital】

  We provide state-of-the-art, minimally invasive joint replacement treatment using high-quality, advanced implants.

  Partial Knee Replacement Surgery for Osteoarthritis This procedure is a partial knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee, in which only the affected compartment of the knee joint is replaced. Using an advanced navigation system, we provide minimally invasive partial knee replacement surgery with high-quality implants. Compared with total knee replacement, this minimally invasive approach causes less discomfort or foreign-body sensation in the joint and is expected to promote faster recovery and earlier return to daily activities. Patients may not be suitable candidates if the entire knee joint is significantly deformed or if there is severe restriction of knee range of motion. The procedure uses high-quality, leading implants manufactured in Japan or the United States.
