Shiomi ENT Clinic
About
Shiomi ENT Clinic, located in Yakushicho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, specializes in otorhinolaryngology. Operating hours are 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM, with closures on Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays. A distinctive feature of this clinic is its active engagement in regenerative medicine through myringoplasty using platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This procedure promotes eardrum regeneration using platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient's own blood, characterized by containing seven types of growth factors including fibroblast growth factor. Treatment outcomes have been published through conference presentations and papers in English-language journals, reporting a high closure rate of 94.7% across all cases. The clinic has also developed a proprietary technique of harvesting external auditory canal skin and transplanting it on collagen sponge to improve closure rates, demonstrating ongoing commitment to technical refinement. Additionally, the clinic offers zinc chloride application therapy to the nasopharynx (B-spot therapy/EAT), performing minimally invasive procedures using thin cotton swabs for symptoms such as posterior nasal drip and voice abnormalities. Facility features include parking, barrier-free accessibility, and English-language medical services. The clinic actively promotes healthcare digital transformation, implementing online eligibility verification and electronic prescription systems to enhance patient convenience.
