My 22 years with Juntendo University

Abstract

I have worked at Juntendo University for 22 years until I retired in March 2008. I was a professor at Juntendo for the last 15 years. Since I've retired, I feel content with the opportunities that I was given and with what I was able to contribute to Juntendo. My speciality was Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. My work has mostly focused on clinical study and research, as well as teaching. I also contributed to hospital management. My development of a surgical technique to treat facial palsy by hemihypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis remains the most interesting experience in my life as a scholar. I also filled an administrative post for the last ten years. This post dealt with various problems, such as air quality in the animal lab environment, risk management, infection control, and other is sues. I would like to summarize what I have done during my work at Juntendo.
