Shibata Nephrology & Urology Clinic
About
Located in Nishi 18-jo Minami, Obihiro City, Hokkaido, Shibata Nephro-Urology Clinic is a medical facility specializing in urology. The clinic's most distinctive feature is that it is the only urology clinic in Hokkaido with a full-time anesthesiologist on staff. For procedures such as prostate surgery (HoLEP) and prostate biopsy, the clinic employs reliable and safe general anesthesia administered by an anesthesiologist, making completely pain-free treatment possible. As a result, the clinic is equipped to perform treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, which traditionally required long-term hospitalization, as day surgery with minimal physical burden. Early morning surgery slots from 7:00 to 9:30 AM are available on Mondays and Wednesdays, making it easier to accommodate work and daily schedules. The anesthesiologist also participates in post-operative monitoring, ensuring thorough post-procedure safety management. The clinic does not consider treatment methods that restrict patients' daily lives desirable, and instead prioritizes providing treatments that do not compromise quality of life (QOL). The clinic's approach of carefully listening to individual symptoms and concerns and recommending optimal treatment for each patient is another distinctive feature. In addition to English language support, the clinic provides parking and barrier-free facilities, creating an accessible environment for all patients.
