Tokyo University Hospital Department of Surgery's main meeting room.
Surrounding the rectangular conference table, specialists are discussing cases. Present are not only professors from Tokyo University Hospital but also professors from Juntendo University Hospital. It can be said that it is a gathering of Japan's top surgical professors.
Among them are several professors who are revered figures in Japan, such as Professor Ito, a consultant professor of orthopedics and neurosurgery at Juntendo University Hospital. The current directors of orthopedics and neurosurgery are his students.
He has always advocated that neurosurgeons should be proficient in both cranial A and the spine. After familiarity with the cranial A and the spine, they can then sub-specialize.
