Self-introduction
I graduated from Nagasaki University Medical School in 1994. After Learning general plastic surgery technique and microvascular anastomosis, in 2011, I studied lymphatico-venular-anastomosis guided by Professor Kojima. While conducting more than 100 lymph venous anastomoses per year, I also researched on lymphatic vessel regeneration. Degree acquisition task is lymph duct regeneration by using adipose derived stem cells. Harvard University and Ohio State University in 2015. Department of Plastic Surgery, The University of Tokyo from April 2016 . Current position since April 2017. Current research is clinical application of regeneration of collecting lymphatics, establishment of anticancer immunosurgery treatment by lymphatic surgery.
