About
Hokkaido Urology Memorial Hospital, located in Higashi-ku, Sapporo, has been providing specialized urological care since its founding in 1987. The hospital's strength lies in its comprehensive treatment system covering a broad spectrum of urological conditions, ranging from kidney stones and urinary tract stones to malignant tumors such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and renal cancer. For stone treatment, a Dornier extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter is employed, enabling anesthesia-free, same-day outpatient procedures. Surgical offerings include laparoscopic surgery performed by surgeons certified by the Japanese Urological Association and the Japan Endourology and Robotics Society, as well as robot-assisted surgery utilizing the 'hinotori' surgical support robot, providing minimally invasive treatment with reduced physical burden. Every Tuesday afternoon, a dedicated clinic for urinary incontinence and female urology is held, offering specialized care for voiding concerns regardless of gender, alongside proactive diagnosis and treatment of interstitial cystitis, a refractory condition. The hospital is equipped with advanced imaging technology including a 64-slice multi-detector CT scanner and gamma camera. The WOC Care Room, staffed by WOC-certified nurses, provides specialized wound, ostomy, and continence care. Consultations in English are available, and the facility accepts credit cards and electronic payments, with on-site parking and barrier-free accessibility.
