We at Niimura Hospital specialize in urology.
Uronav is by fusing MRI and ultrasound images, the system determines cancer sites and navigates needle biopsies using 3D images. Compared with conventional biopsy systems, this system has enabled more accurate detection of cancer.
Introduction results
We have achieved a cancer detection rate of 85% using this system.
Compared with the conventional biopsy method, the detection accuracy has increased by more than double using this system.
At the International Urology Conference held in South Korea from June 13 to 15, 2019, Shinji Niimura, the hospital director, presented the results of prostate biopsies using the Uronav and won one of the best awards. Not becoming complacent, we intend to continue providing world-class medical services at our hospital.
Since the introduction of the da Vinci system, no blood transfusion has been required during surgeries. We have achieved 0 blood transfusion, 97.3% urinary continence, and 0 serious complications.Our doctors have been receiving regular training from Professor Tadashi Hatano, an International Grade-A licenser of the Japan Robotic Surgery Society, thereby honing their skills.
Our hospital are performing 50 types of urological surgeries for 800 cases annually. The cumulative number of cases attended by us since the hospital’s foundation has exceeded 40,000.Backed by these experiences and achievements, we are striving to provide the patients with safer and more appropriate treatments in the present and future.

about equipment
Captured by using the DXA method with minimum estimated errors. By irradiating X-rays with different wavelengths on a bone, bone density is calculated from the difference in absorbance between the bone and other tissues. The bones to be measured primarily include the lumbar (lower back bone) and femoral head (thigh joint bone). The required time would be approximately 5 minutes. This system is considered effective in close examination of osteoporosis, follow-up of hormonal treatment (androgen suppression results in a decrease in bone density), and fracture risk prediction.
