The department is the best regional center for surgery of urological cancer and treatment of urolithiasis. Specifically, we are performing the followings for the treatment of patients with urological problems: 1) robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery for prostate, kidney and bladder tumors; 2) endoscopic surgery for urolithiasis; 3) minimally invasive surgery for pediatric urology and voiding dysfunction; and 4) kidney transplantation. Moreover, researches on 1)clinical trial for of prostate, kidney and bladder cancer and 2) novel operative skills for minimal invasive surgery are underway. Furthermore, basic researches on oncology (tumorigenesis and cancer biology for urological tumor) and regenerative medicine for urological tissue reconstruction (tissue engineering and cell therapy for urological tissue regeneration) are actively performed.
