Hanshin Inguinal Hernia Day Surgery Gi Surgery Clinic

About

Located approximately 6 minutes on foot from Hankyu Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Hanshin Inguinal Hernia Same-Day Gi Surgery Clinic is a gastrointestinal surgery clinic specializing in same-day surgery for inguinal hernias. The clinic employs a minimally invasive procedure called Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery-Total Extraperitoneal Patch (SILS-TEP), which requires only a single incision of about 2.5cm near the navel, resulting in minimal physical burden. The operating body, Gi Medical Corporation, has accumulated over 7,388 cases of same-day inguinal hernia surgeries using this procedure since its establishment in April 2015 (as of end of April 2025), building extensive experience as a specialized inguinal hernia clinic that is rare nationwide. Multiple specialists, including Director Dr. Nobuhito Kubota, are on staff, providing a consistent care system from examination to surgery and post-operative follow-up. Clinic hours are 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with irregular closing days, so advance confirmation is recommended. English support is available, and the clinic is barrier-free, creating an accessible environment for a wide range of patients. Inguinal hernia is a condition that affects one in three men at least once in their lifetime, and through the option of same-day surgery, the clinic provides treatment that aims for early return to daily life while reducing the burden of hospitalization.
