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.
The presence of tumors is evaluated using endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS).
The indication for surgery is determined based on imaging studies such as CT, in addition to defining the extent of the tumor using the latest cholangioscopy systems.
Histological evaluation is performed by EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration or bile duct biopsy under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
