Surgery is performed using the TAPP method, which observes the groin from inside the abdominal cavity using a laparoscope. Since the surgery is performed with smaller instruments than in general surgery, the scars are smaller and recovery is faster.
A single-hole surgery that is less invasive than other laparoscopic surgeries. Since it is performed with a 2cm incision + 2mm incision in the navel, postoperative recovery is quick and the scars are not noticeable. Since the rate of conversion to laparotomy is overwhelmingly low, it is safe to have surgery on an outpatient basis.
A single-hole endoscopic surgery is performed with a 2cm incision + 2mm incision in the navel, the scars are not noticeable and postoperative recovery is quick! The overwhelmingly low rate of conversion to laparotomy and the short average surgery time reduce the burden after surgery.

・Blood sampling, respiratory examination, electrocardiogram, and cardiac ultrasound are performed in one day, and the doctor will explain the surgery (about 1-2 hours).
・Surgery is an outpatient procedure on the day (surgery takes about 1 hour, and you can go home in as little as 3 hours, including post-op rest).
・The day after surgery, blood sampling, wound check, and explanation from the doctor are performed.
・Patients are generally required to visit the clinic at least three times: before surgery, on the day of surgery, and after surgery. However, if preoperative test results, such as blood tests and CT or MRCP scans, performed at a hospital in your home country or region can be shared with us, we may be able to accept your surgical booking without repeating all preoperative examinations, subject to the surgeon's review and approval.
