【Recent highlights】

We are developing nanomicrol techniques for distribution to the world. Lymphatic transfer for severe lymphedema. It has been found that hemangiosarcoma that occurs in lymphedema can be completely cured by lymph bypass surgery, and the mechanism is being studied. For severe nerve palsy, we perform reconstructive surgery that combines vascularized nerve flap transfer, nerve fiber transfer, and muscle transfer. In order to restore the lost part in the body, we are proposing new techniques to make limbs, face, etc. by combining multiple tissues.

【Education】
In addition to general surgical techniques for plastic surgery, acquisition of reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery, especially vascular anastomosis (nano microsurgery, supermicrosurgery) techniques of 0.5 mm or less, and acquisition of surgical techniques related to all tissue transplantation. We also accept many students from overseas.
