Greetings
Since opening in April 2014, this center has been safely and smoothly performing robotic-assisted surgeries at our hospital. From 2023, we will have two Da Vinci Surgical System Xi surgical support robots, and robotic-assisted surgery will be actively introduced in many departments. Tokai University Hospital has already practiced minimally invasive treatments such as laparoscopic surgery and thoracoscopic surgery, and by introducing various types of robotic-assisted surgery, we will establish a system to safely provide even more advanced and wider range of medical care.

Overview
This center opened on April 1, 2014. In March 2014, the Department of Nephrology and Urology started robotic-assisted total prostatectomy in our hospital. Currently, not only the Nephrology and Urology Department, but also Gastroenterological Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery Department are actively performing robot-assisted surgery. The center organizes its activities through a steering committee whose members are selected from the departments of nephrology and urology, Gastroenterological Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery, plastic surgery, Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Anesthesiology, surgery department, Clinical Engineering Department, and administrative departments such as the medical affairs department.
