IBD Center (IBDセンター)
The IBD Center brings the hospital's IBD physicians and IBD surgeons together, working closely with other medical staff, for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. It runs two medical and one surgical outpatient clinic every day, and a certified nurse runs a stoma clinic every day. It also treats short bowel syndrome, complex anal fistula and colitis-associated cancer, can move straight to emergency surgery when medical treatment fails, and accepts referrals and emergency transfers from other hospitals. Biologics can be started and continued at the hospital or, in coordination, at the patient's local clinic.
