About us
We at Niimura Hospital specialize in urology. Regardless of the sex, we provide consistent diagnoses/treatments, including outpatient consultation, examination, surgery, hospitalization, and anticancer drug treatment. We have abundant achievements and experiences in performing primary cancer surgeries, including prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer. Including Tokiko Niimura, a female urologist and the Chairman, experienced doctors and staff members with ample expertise in their respective fields will support patients in earnest.Since its foundation in 1980, Niimura Hospital has been continuously making innovations so that cutting-edge urological therapies are more readily available.
Cutting-edge medical device
Uronav(MRI-ultrasound imaging fused biopsy system for the prostate)
Prostate cancer detection rate of 85%
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.
Best awards of Urology conference
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.
Surgical assistant robot da Vinci
Our highly experienced doctors and staff perform surgeries usingstate-of-the-art equipment.
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.

- 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.
