Provision of Minimally Invasive Surgery using Laparoscopy and Robotic Systems

Surgical Treatment of Complex Abdominal Hernias and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

We have extensive experience in the treatment of various types of abdominal hernias. For morbid obesity, which is a major cause of inguinal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, often associated with hiatal hernia), we reported the first case in Japan of a robot-assisted surgery using the da Vinci system (Aichi Medical University). In addition to English, we are also able to provide medical support in Chinese through collaboration with the Department of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery at Kansai Medical University Hospital.
