From FESS to Long Fusion
Our hospital covers nearly all the latest and cutting-edge techniques in spinal surgeries as part of our spinal outpatient services.For conditions like lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis, we offer surgeries like FESS performed through an 8mm incision, which is a minimally invasive approach, as well as procedures like MED performed through a 16-18mm incision.
We also provide multi-level fusion surgeries for spinal deformities and instabilities.
While many patients with spinal disorders find relief through conservative treatments such as medication, injections, physical therapy, and braces, there are cases where surgical intervention becomes necessary to prevent severe complications, functional impairments, and long-term sequelae, in order to regain a better quality of life.
Our hospital was conceived and designed with the purpose of providing patients in need of surgical intervention with advanced and safe techniques in a sincere manner. Through a comprehensive conference involving a team of specialized spine doctors and other experts, we carefully assess each patient's condition and discuss appropriate treatment options. With the collaboration of multiple specialists, we strive to create the safest and most secure environment.
When there are multiple treatment options available, we don't make the decision for you. Instead, we provide clear explanations of all available treatments, including conservative approaches, highlighting the pros and cons of each, allowing patients to make informed decisions.
Our goal is to provide every patient with clear and comprehensible medical care tailored to their individual needs.

Message from the Director
As of April 1, 2025, I have assumed the position of Director.Our hospital specializes in spinal surgery, and we are committed to providing patients with the latest minimally invasive treatments based on academic insight and our accumulated clinical experience.
Since graduating from Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine in 1996, I have worked in orthopedic departments at affiliated hospitals throughout the Kansai region. Since around 2005, I have focused on spinal and spinal cord treatment. To date, I have performed over 4,000 spinal and spinal cord surgeries, ranging from endoscopic procedures to scoliosis correction surgeries. Drawing upon this experience, I will make every effort to deliver the best possible care to our patients.
Although our hospital has a compact capacity of 22 beds, one of our strengths lies in our ability to promptly transition from diagnosis to treatment.
Patients can rest and recover with peace of mind while enjoying the lush, natural scenery of Meiji Jingu from their hospital rooms.
On the rooftop garden, one can admire the plants while taking in a panoramic view of Tokyo’s Shinjuku area—a healing space for all.
Our entire staff is dedicated to doing our utmost to become a ray of hope that patients can trust for their treatment.
Please feel free to consult with us at any time.
