Department of Pediatric surgery at Kawasaki Medical School was established in 1997. The department is responsible for general surgeries on children ranging from newborn babies to 15-years-old and transitional adolescent patients. Our expert surgeons set the standards for teamwork, compassion, education and innovation as we achieve outstanding outcomes for patients, invent novel life-saving treatments, and create a legacy of excellence in the field through advanced medical training. Children are not only small and delicate, they also have the peculiarity of being in the process of growing and developing. As pediatric specialists, we are committed to providing each child with a special and attentive care. We are actively performing endoscopic surgery and minimally invasive surgery on children so that the aftereffects and injuries remain as little as possible. Experienced staff are in charge of medical treatment.
