(Institure of the Stomaless on the Web)
Chapter 5

Miscellaneous with self-introduction

I am going to introduce a book titled “500 Great Asians of the Early 21^st Century,” published by the US-based publishing company BWW Corp..

Prior to my training, I understood that, in the process of treating disease, surgery would leave scars on the body, but I cannot forget the shock I experience upon first seeing patient scars and injuries soon after I started working as a surgeon.  In particular, I could not help but think that surgeons were creating another disease by treating rectal cancer. Given my belief that operations were intended to treat and heal, I could hardly feel as an intern doctor that patients undergoing anal resections were being saved from disease.

Currently, reconstruction of the anus (neo-anus) is commonly performed at our institution.  Reflecting upon the fact that nobody even thought about the procedure as a research subject more than 10 years ago, I cannot help but be impressed by the dramatic improvement from experiments on animals to simulation-operations on human cadavers and now clinical application in just 10 years. When I recklessly declared “elimination of a stoma from the world” as my first research goal as a surgeon, I honestly did not believe that I would accomplish this goal. I just thought that elimination of a stoma would be an important theme in surgery, I would be satisfied with my role, and hopefully the theme will be handed over to the next runner and one after another somewhere in the world like a baton in a relay race in an athletic meeting after running of a circle at best until someone would reach the goal. Recently, however, I think it impossible to reach the goal by a coordinated baton relay in a relay race, but rather think that a “preposterous” neo-anus surgery cannot be achieved unless someone makes desperate efforts until collapsing into the goal at a breath.

I am considering improving anal reconstruction (neo-anus surgery with a pudendal nerve anastomosis) from now on, but it is one of the best options for patients even now as an operative alternative to colostomy.  To date, I have presented the technique in academic journals, academic meetings, and lectures for surgeons.  However, in an era when patients check on the internet to select their hospitals and treatment options, I decided to upload the details of this operation on to the internet so that it would be available to everyone.
