Overview

Integrated Women's Health is composed of three units: Perinatal Care, General Gynecology, and Women's Surgery.

Our hospital has been admitted into the Japan Obstetric Compensation System, and treatment is based on providing a natural childbirth, while pursuing "child safety and comfort." Expecting mothers who will undergo continuous pregnancy checkups at our hospital are accepted for delivery. For patients who wish to visit other clinics for checkups but deliver at our hospital, an outpatient visit at 34 weeks is available (Please call us as soon as your pregnancy is confirmed.) We are designated as a Perinatal Medical Center by the Tokyo Metropolitan government, and actively accept various 'high risk' mothers. Further details can be found here.

At the General Gynecology and Women's Surgery department, laparoscopic surgery is proactively performed for benign tumors. For growths such as uterine fibroids, hysteroscopy and uterine artery embolization are implemented, with the cooperation of the radiology department. We also perform many types of treatment for malignant tumors (cervical cancer, uterine cancer, or ovarian cancer).

The Center for Advanced Reproduction has an infertility outpatient clinic, and cooperates with Clinical Genetics to offer medicinal consultation for expecting mothers. The center arranges in-vitro fertilization and micro-fertilization, offers cryopreservation of the sperm and eggs of patients undergoing cancer treatments and provides psychological support for numerous problems relating to having children.

Diseases and Expertise

1. Perinatal Care
   Outpatients at Perinatal Care undergo pregnancy examinations with a primary physician. The pregnancy examination implements ultrasonography, and examines based on evidence based medicine（EBM.）Various classes are offered such as "Mother's Classes" and "Multi-kids Class," for mothers expecting multiple births.
   (Unfortunately , most of these classes are available only in Japanese.　However you may ask any questions to the Nurses or Midwives at out-patient clinic, so that you may resolve your anxiety individually.)
   We also have a midwife outpatient clinic where mothers are offered advice on how to spend a healthy maternity life. There are a variety of pamphlets so that treatment is easy to understand. In order to create a comfortable childbirth experience for couples, we hold "Parenting Classes" about the delivery process, and fathers may attend delivery if they wish. Our maternity rooms implement L.D.R., arranging an environment where patients can concentrate on childbirth even while having contractions. All rooms for inpatients are private, so that they can spend a peaceful time with their family.
   After a patient is admitted, our staff forms a maternity team to perform examinations. We are fully equipped with a NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and provide team medicine with the obstetrics, neonatology, anesthesiology, and other departments. If medically necessary, we utilize epidural anesthetics to allow delivery with as little pain as possible. For women with complications during pregnancy or those at high risk, we aim to provide safe and expedient treatment. Our hospital has been designated as a Perinatal Medical Center by the Tokyo Metropolitan government, and we also accept maternal transport. Further details can be found here.
2. General Gynecology and Women's Surgery
   We actively perform laparoscopic surgery and treatment for malignant tumors.
   Laparoscopes are used for treating almost all benign cases, including extrauterine pregnancies, chocolate cysts, dermoid cysts and ovarian tumor, as well as for laparoscopic fibroid enucleation and laparoscopic panhysterectomy.
   In November, 2011, we introduced a surgery assistance robot "da Vinci" to our practice, with the goal of further increasing possibilities for laparoscopic surgeries.
   For uterine cancer and ovarian cancer, our hospital has received approvals as a Registered Facility for Gynecological Tumor of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Designated Specialist Training Facility of the Japan Society of Gynecologic Oncology and as a Registered and Participating Facility of the Japanese Gynecologic Oncology Group (JGOG,) proactively taking on treatment of patients with malignant tumors.Pre-operative chemotherapy (against early stage uterine cancer), taking advantage of the waiting period, and minimally invasive surgery using da Vinci are proactively performed.
   If necessary, uterus preservation is available for patients diagnosed with cervical tumors. In addition to cervical cone biopsies, we strive to preserve fertility for those who wish with radical trachelectomy, if they have indication. In our hospital, patient management continues under the Center for Advanced Reproduction post-operation, and the Perinatal Center in the case of pregnancy.
   With the cooperation of the Radiology Department, uterine artery embolization can be performed on uterine fibroids. In 2013, we have introduced microwave endometrial ablation for patients with hypermenorrhea.
