Summary of Activity

Plastic and reconstructive surgery is the study which searches for the way by which restores functionally and aesthetically the loss of tissue which has caused by congenital anomalies, injuries and tumor removals. In all medical departments, only our department creates the shape by surgery for treatment. A study and education are being perfomed, which are directly conjugated to clinical treatment by improving visual appearance, a decline of the function and the quality of life.

Research Subject

  • ・Clinical research of cleft lip and palate, vascular anomaly
  • ・Research of facial anthropometry in Japanese
  • ・Research for new wound healing by transplanting isolated mitochondria, analyzing mechanism of regeneration of wounded newts (Cynops pyrrhogaster)
  • ・Basic and clinical research for severe nail deformity, lip reconstruction and regenerative treatment
  • ・Research for new blood flow monitoring using laser speckle flowgraphy

Outlook for Research

Knowing the standard of Japanese each facial part can give an ideal face to every patient with various facial deformities. It is impossible to reconstruct the loss of lip and fingers/toes completely now. We are studying from various views in order to realize the ideal treatment.
