Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Center (炎症性腸疾患（IBD）センター)

The IBD Center was set up in April 2024 so that the hospital's gastrointestinal surgeons and gastroenterologists treat IBD patients together; about 350 patients attend (280 with ulcerative colitis, 80 with Crohn's disease). The surgeons handle emergency surgery for severe ulcerative colitis and bowel resection for Crohn's strictures and penetrating disease, and the gastroenterologists treat to current guidelines and take part in international trials of new IBD drugs. Referrals, transfers and urgent surgical consultations go through the hospital's regional liaison office.
