Colorectal Surgery

Overview

Since its establishment in 1965, the Tokyo Women’s Medical University Institute of Gastroenterology has provided patient-centered medical care, trained excellent clinicians, and conducted clinically relevant medical research. These endeavors have been carried forward to the present day, and our aim is to provide comprehensive, cutting-edge medical care that transcends the barriers of gastrointestinal departments. Additionally, we strive to nurture warm-hearted clinicians. The four divisions of gastrointestinal surgery (upper gastrointestinal surgery, colorectal surgery, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, and inflammatory bowel disease surgery) collaborate closely in clinical care, research, and education. We also cooperate with other departments, such as gastroenterology and endoscopy in internal medicine, as well as those of diagnostic imaging and nuclear medicine, radiology, and surgical pathology, to combine our comprehensive strengths and provide medical care. Our department primarily focuses on conducting clinical research with a theme centered around the diagnosis and treatment of all lower gastrointestinal diseases, with a particular emphasis on gastrointestinal tumors.

Education Details

The education is collaboratively provided by four departments of gastrointestinal surgery (upper gastrointestinal surgery, colorectal surgery, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, and inflammatory bowel disease surgery). In student clinical training, students learn knowledge, skills, patient care, and other things as members of a medical team under the supervision and guidance of a preceptor. Students will act as student doctors to experience skin suturing and urinary catheterization in the operating room. Additionally, hands-on courses, including hernia surgery and gastrointestinal endoscopy using simulation instruments, as well as robotic surgery using devices, will be conducted. For post-graduate education, residents can choose a “surgery course” that focuses on surgery from the initial training stage. Various courses are available in the advanced clinical training stage, and residents can learn broadly without deciding on a specialized field, or they can focus on colorectal surgery. Over half of the colorectal surgery staff have acquired endoscopic surgical technology certification, and we provide an environment for in-depth learning of laparoscopic and robotic surgery.
