Our department has treated diseases of the digestive tract, chest, peripheral vessels, endocrine system, as well as a broad range of other diseases, which is consistent with the slogan "from head to toe." However, a recent medical complication requires the acquisition of advanced technology that may inhibit medical improvement if we try to cover all fields. Therefore, we will now specialize in treating various diseases of the abdominal organs such as the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas, as well as perform liver, kidney and pancreas transplant procedures. To provide the best medical treatment for patients, we have four groups of experts working on the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts, hepato-biliary-pancreatic systems, and in transplantation. Each group works hard as a unit to promote medical examination, research, and education. Some common concepts that describe our department include "traditional succession," "changes that focuses on environmental adaptation," and "development of medical treatments for the next-generation."

All surgeons must aim for the most minimally invasive techniques available for all operations to minimize complications and prevent the relapse of the primary diseases. To perform the ideal surgical operation, it is important to receive the necessary training under the appropriate educational system that provides the organization’s basis for obtaining knowledge, discernment, ideas, and technology. We provide this kind of training system to support young and senior surgeons.

Occasionally, great ideas are born from a difficult clinical situation. Our department aims to train surgeon scientists/academic surgeons who can link new discoveries with ideas for developing new medical treatments while also sympathizing with their patient's pain.

We believe in research that takes patient treatments “from the bench to the bedside.”
