Preoperative Medical Clearance

You are required to undergo a series of medical tests prior to the surgery to ensure your safety. Tests can be done either here with us or with your own doctor in your country.

1. To take the tests with us.
   lease come to our clinic by 11 am on the previous day previous to of your surgery.
2. To take the test in your own country.
   Please come to our clinic by 11 am on the day of your surgery.

For those of you who plan to go with #2 above, we recommend you schedule your flight to arrive at the Kansai International Airport (KIX) on the day before the surgery.

Even though your admission to our clinic is on the day of surgery, having it on the same day of arrival as your long flight will be physically taxing. Therefore, please schedule to arrive at the airport on the previous day, stay overnight at a hotel, and then come visit us the next morning.
