This procedure combines oral medication (letrozole) with intrauterine insemination (IUI). You take letrozole tablets for 5 days early in your menstrual cycle to stimulate the ovaries to produce one or two mature eggs. Your doctor monitors follicle growth via ultrasound and blood tests, then triggers ovulation with an hCG injection. Approximately 36 hours later, a prepared sperm sample is placed directly into your uterus using a thin catheter—a quick, outpatient procedure.

The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) facelift is a deep tissue plication technique that lifts and tightens the underlying muscle and connective tissue layers of the face, followed by redraping of the skin. This approach addresses sagging in the midface, jowls, and neck for a more natural, longer-lasting result compared to skin-only lifts. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation and typically takes 2-4 hours. It is a comprehensive surgical intervention that targets the structural foundation of facial aging.

Decompensated liver cirrhosis is the advanced stage of cirrhosis where the liver can no longer perform its functions adequately, leading to serious complications such as refractory ascites (fluid buildup in the abdomen), variceal bleeding, jaundice, and hepatic encephalopathy. Key facts: it indicates significant liver damage and often requires interventions like TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) to manage portal hypertension, variceal banding to control bleeding, and careful ascites management. Without treatment, it carries a high risk of liver failure and mortality.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath covering nerve fibers, disrupting communication between the brain and the body. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, numbness, vision problems, and difficulty walking. MS is typically diagnosed between ages 20 and 40, and while there is no cure, treatments aim to manage relapses and slow progression. Stem cell therapies like AHSCT and UC-MSC are emerging as promising options to reset the immune system and promote repair.

This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. Through small abdominal incisions, a laparoscope (camera) and specialized instruments are inserted to identify and completely remove endometriotic implants, adhesions, and ovarian endometriomas (chocolate cysts). The goal is to excise all visible disease while preserving healthy ovarian tissue and reproductive organs. The procedure typically takes 1–3 hours, and patients stay in the hospital for 3–5 days for monitoring and pain management.

VASER 360 Liposuction uses ultrasound energy to selectively break down fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues such as blood vessels and nerves. The liquefied fat is then gently suctioned out through small incisions, and the procedure also stimulates collagen production for skin tightening. It is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, and the entire process takes about 2–3 hours depending on the treatment area.

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches that can be itchy or painful. It affects about 2–3% of the global population and is driven by an overactive immune response. While not curable, modern treatments effectively manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, moderate to severe headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. It affects over 1 billion people worldwide and is more common in women. Episodes can last from 4 to 72 hours, significantly impacting daily life.

This procedure involves a lumbar puncture to deliver umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, targeting the central nervous system. The infusion is followed by a structured 8-week intensive rehabilitation program, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy as needed. The stem cells are administered in multiple sessions over the treatment period, with the aim of reducing inflammation and promoting neural repair. The rehab component is daily and tailored to your condition, designed to maximize functional gains alongside the cellular therapy.

Silicone implant augmentation, commonly known as breast augmentation, involves placing silicone gel-filled implants either under the pectoral muscle (sub-muscular) or directly behind the breast tissue (sub-glandular). The procedure is performed under general anesthesia through incisions typically made in the inframammary fold, around the areola, or in the armpit. The choice of placement depends on your anatomy and desired outcome, with sub-muscular placement often providing a more natural look and reduced risk of visible rippling. The surgery usually takes 1–2 hours, and you can expect to stay in China for 3–5 days for initial recovery and follow-up.

Skin cancer is the abnormal growth of skin cells, most commonly caused by ultraviolet radiation. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are the most common types, typically slow-growing and highly treatable when caught early. Melanoma is less common but more aggressive, with a higher risk of spreading if not treated promptly. Early detection significantly improves outcomes for all types.

TCM Fertility Support is a Traditional Chinese Medicine approach that combines custom herbal formulas and acupuncture to prepare the body for IVF or natural conception. Key facts include randomized controlled trials showing improved IVF outcomes, such as higher pregnancy rates and better embryo quality.

This is a 3-dose protocol using umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Over three weeks, you receive one injection per week directly into the affected joint. The stem cells are sourced from donated umbilical cord tissue, processed in a GMP-certified lab, and mixed with your own PRP to enhance tissue repair. Each session is an outpatient procedure lasting about 30 minutes, with no surgical incision required.

ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to access the bile ducts. A thin, flexible tube is passed through the mouth to the duodenum, where a small cut (sphincterotomy) is made to widen the duct opening. Stones are then removed using a basket or balloon, often without the need for external incisions. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes under sedation.

Hair loss, or alopecia, is a common condition involving partial or complete loss of hair from the scalp or body. It can result from genetics (androgenetic alopecia), autoimmune responses (alopecia areata), hormonal changes, or medical treatments. Key facts: it affects millions worldwide, is often treatable, and early intervention yields better outcomes.

Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (aHSCT) for highly active multiple sclerosis begins with harvesting your own stem cells from blood or bone marrow. You then receive high-dose chemotherapy to suppress the immune system, followed by reinfusion of the stem cells to rebuild a new, tolerant immune system. The entire process typically requires a 4- to 6-week hospital stay in a specialized stem cell therapy unit.

Anti-TNF induction therapy involves administering a biosimilar of adalimumab or infliximab via subcutaneous injection or intravenous infusion over a 12-week period. You will receive a total of 6 doses at scheduled intervals, typically in an outpatient clinic setting. The therapy targets tumor necrosis factor-alpha, a key driver of inflammation in conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Our gastroenterology team monitors your response with regular blood tests and symptom assessments to ensure safety and efficacy.

Cancer treatment side effects refer to the adverse symptoms caused by chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy, such as fatigue, nausea, peripheral neuropathy, and dry mouth (xerostomia). These effects can significantly impact quality of life and may limit treatment adherence. Integrative Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers evidence-based approaches—including herbal formulas, acupuncture, and dietary therapy—to manage these symptoms, often reducing their severity and helping patients maintain strength during conventional cancer care.

This 5-week outpatient programme combines acupuncture, where fine sterile needles are inserted at specific body points to stimulate energy flow, with Tuina, a therapeutic Chinese massage using pressure and manipulation. Sessions occur twice weekly, each lasting about 45–60 minutes. The goal is to restore balance in the body's meridians, addressing pain or dysfunction through a non-invasive, drug-free approach.

Vedolizumab is a gut-selective integrin blocker administered as an intravenous infusion over approximately 30 minutes. It works by binding to α4β7 integrin on lymphocytes, preventing them from migrating into the gastrointestinal tract and reducing inflammation in moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. The standard regimen includes an initial loading phase (doses at weeks 0, 2, and 6), followed by maintenance infusions every 8 weeks. The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting, meaning you can return home shortly after each session.

Chronic sinusitis is a persistent inflammation of the sinus cavities lasting 12 weeks or longer, often caused by infection, nasal polyps, or structural blockages. Symptoms include nasal congestion, facial pain, reduced sense of smell, and thick nasal discharge. It affects approximately 12% of adults globally and can significantly impact quality of life. When medical therapy fails, surgical options like functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) or balloon sinuplasty may be recommended to restore sinus drainage.

A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, leading to blurry vision, glare, and eventual vision loss if untreated. It is most commonly age-related, affecting over half of people by age 80, but can also result from injury or medical conditions. Cataract surgery, which replaces the cloudy lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), is one of the safest and most effective surgeries worldwide, with a success rate above 98%.

The 4-week program includes eight acupuncture sessions, typically two per week, combined with a custom herbal formula tailored to your condition. Acupuncture involves inserting thin, sterile needles at specific points to stimulate energy flow, while the herbal decoction is prepared as a tea or powder based on a Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis. Each session lasts 30–60 minutes, and the formula is adjusted weekly based on your progress.

TAF (tenofovir alafenamide) is a once-daily oral tablet taken to suppress hepatitis B virus replication. The annual protocol includes a prescription for 365 days of medication and four quarterly monitoring visits. Each visit involves a blood test to assess viral load, liver enzymes, and kidney function, ensuring the therapy remains effective and safe. This is a maintenance treatment, not a cure, but it reliably controls the virus long-term.

Thyroid nodule surgery involves removing thyroid nodules that are benign or suspicious. In China, advanced techniques like transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy (scarless, with no visible neck incision) and microwave ablation (a minimally invasive option that destroys nodules with heat) are widely available. These procedures offer faster recovery and excellent cosmetic results compared to traditional open surgery.

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to abnormally high intraocular pressure. It is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, but early detection and treatment can preserve vision. Key facts include that it affects over 70 million people globally, with open-angle glaucoma being the most common form. Symptoms may be subtle initially, making regular eye exams critical.

This programme is a 12-week outpatient treatment designed to optimize your body for in vitro fertilization (IVF). It includes weekly acupuncture sessions and a custom herbal decoction prepared based on your individual diagnosis. The acupuncture targets specific meridians to improve blood flow to the reproductive organs and balance hormonal function, while the herbs are tailored to address underlying issues such as poor egg quality or uterine lining problems. You will visit the clinic weekly and take the decoction daily at home.

TIPS is a minimally invasive interventional radiology procedure performed under conscious sedation. A radiologist creates a small channel (shunt) inside the liver using a needle and catheter, typically inserted through the jugular vein in the neck. This shunt connects the portal vein to a hepatic vein, bypassing the liver to reduce dangerously high blood pressure in the portal vein (portal hypertension). The entire process takes about 1–2 hours, and patients usually stay in the hospital for 5–7 days for monitoring and recovery.

Sleep Apnea (OSA) Surgery refers to a range of procedures designed to treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea when CPAP or other non-surgical treatments fail. Common approaches include Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) to remove excess throat tissue, hypoglossal nerve stimulation (Inspire) which uses an implanted device to keep the airway open, and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) that repositions the jaw to enlarge the airway. These surgeries aim to reduce apnea events, improve oxygen levels, and enhance sleep quality.

Retinal detachment is a medical emergency where the retina separates from its underlying supportive tissue, leading to potential permanent vision loss if not treated promptly. Key facts include that it often presents with sudden flashes of light, floaters, or a curtain-like shadow over vision. Immediate surgical intervention, such as pars plana vitrectomy with gas or oil tamponade, is required to reattach the retina and preserve sight.

This programme combines bi-weekly acupuncture sessions with a customized herbal protocol designed to complement your chemotherapy. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles at specific points to help manage side effects like nausea, fatigue, and pain. The herbal formula is tailored to your individual condition and adjusted over time to support immune function and overall well-being.

This procedure begins with harvesting a small, thin skin sample from a healthy, pigmented area of your body, typically the thigh or buttock. In a laboratory, the melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) are isolated and cultured to increase their number over several weeks. The resulting cell suspension is then applied to the depigmented patches, which have been prepared by gentle dermabrasion to create a receptive bed. The entire process, from biopsy to transplantation, usually spans 1–2 weeks, with the cultured cells being applied in a single session.

Post-surgery recovery refers to the structured rehabilitation process following surgical procedures such as joint replacement, cardiac surgery, or cancer treatment. It involves a tailored program of physical therapy, pain management, and functional exercises designed to restore mobility, strength, and overall health. Key facts include that early mobilization and personalized care significantly reduce complications and speed up return to daily activities. In China, rehabilitation medicine integrates advanced techniques with traditional approaches to optimize outcomes.

SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a flapless femtosecond laser refractive surgery. The surgeon uses a femtosecond laser to create a small, disc-shaped piece of tissue (lenticule) inside the cornea, which is then removed through a tiny 2–4 mm incision. Unlike LASIK, no corneal flap is created, preserving more of the cornea's structural integrity. The entire procedure typically takes 10–15 minutes per eye and is performed under topical anesthesia as an outpatient treatment.

This 12-week outpatient regimen involves subcutaneous injections of secukinumab or ixekizumab, typically administered at weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, followed by maintenance doses every 4 weeks. These biologic agents block interleukin-17, a key driver of inflammation in psoriasis, to rapidly reduce plaque severity and skin clearance. The loading phase aims to achieve early disease control, with most patients seeing significant improvement within the first month.

Macular degeneration is a chronic eye disease that causes central vision loss due to damage to the macula, the central part of the retina. The most common form is age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which has two types: dry (atrophic) and wet (neovascular). Wet AMD, though less common, is more aggressive and can lead to rapid vision loss if untreated. Key facts: it is a leading cause of blindness in people over 50, and early diagnosis is critical for preserving vision.

ICL EVO implantation is a reversible refractive surgery that places a collamer lens behind the iris and in front of the natural lens, without removing corneal tissue. The procedure is performed under topical anesthesia through a small incision and typically takes 15–30 minutes per eye. It is designed to correct high myopia (over 800 degrees) and is especially suitable for patients with thin corneas who are not candidates for LASIK.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive technique where individual hair follicles are harvested from a donor area, typically the back of the scalp, and transplanted into thinning or balding regions. For a 3,000-graft mega-session, we extract and implant each follicle one by one using micro-punches, allowing for a same-day procedure. The process is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you remain awake but comfortable, and results in natural-looking density without a linear scar.

Sports Injury Rehabilitation is a specialized medical program designed to help athletes and active individuals recover from injuries like ACL tears, rotator cuff issues, and tendinopathy. It combines evidence-based physical therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, and structured return-to-play protocols to restore strength, mobility, and function. Key facts: treatment is tailored to each injury and sport, often involving progressive exercises and manual therapy to prevent re-injury.

Whole-Body Cancer Screening is a comprehensive preventive examination that combines advanced imaging and laboratory tests to detect potential malignancies at an early stage. Key components include PET-CT scanning, a tumor marker blood panel, upper and lower endoscopy, and a low-dose chest CT. This screening is specifically designed for high-risk individuals, such as those with a family history of cancer, genetic predispositions, or significant lifestyle risk factors. The goal is to identify cancer before symptoms appear, significantly improving treatment outcomes.

This is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure to remove a cataract and replace the eye's natural lens with a premium trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). During phacoemulsification, the surgeon makes a small incision, uses ultrasound energy to break up the cloudy lens, and gently suctions it out. The trifocal IOL is then folded and inserted through the same incision, where it unfolds to provide clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. The entire surgery typically takes 15–30 minutes per eye, and you can return home the same day.

Cochlear implantation is a surgical procedure that places a thin electrode array inside the cochlea (inner ear) to directly stimulate the auditory nerve. An external sound processor, worn behind the ear, captures and converts sound into electrical signals transmitted to the internal implant. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2–4 hours. The external processor is fitted and activated approximately 4 weeks after surgery, allowing the brain to adapt to the new auditory signals.

Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised programme designed to improve cardiovascular health after a heart attack, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, or heart failure. It typically includes Phase II (early outpatient) and Phase III (long-term maintenance) monitored exercise sessions, guided by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) for a personalized prescription. Key facts: it reduces mortality, improves exercise capacity, and addresses risk factors like hypertension and diabetes.

Cardiac Risk Screening is a comprehensive assessment package designed for asymptomatic individuals with elevated risk factors (e.g., family history, hypertension, diabetes). It typically includes a coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) to visualize plaque, an echocardiogram to evaluate heart structure and function, a stress test to detect ischemia, and a lipid panel to measure cholesterol levels. The goal is to identify silent coronary artery disease early, allowing preventive interventions before symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath occur. This screening is non-invasive or minimally invasive and is performed in a single outpatient visit.

This procedure combines cataract removal with the implantation of a micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) device, such as the iStent or Hydrus. During cataract surgery, a tiny stent is placed in the eye's natural drainage pathway to reduce intraocular pressure. The stent is smaller than a grain of rice and works by bypassing blocked drainage channels, allowing fluid to drain more effectively. The entire process is performed through the same small incision used for cataract surgery, adding minimal time to the procedure and requiring no additional incisions.

FESS is a minimally invasive procedure performed through the nostrils using an endoscope—a thin, lighted tube with a camera. Surgeons use specialized instruments to remove diseased tissue, polyps, or blockages from the sinuses, restoring normal drainage and ventilation. In China, many hospitals employ image-guided navigation systems, which provide real-time 3D mapping of the sinuses, enhancing precision and safety. The surgery typically takes 1–2 hours under general anesthesia, and patients stay in the hospital for 2–3 days for monitoring.

Severe asthma is a form of asthma that does not respond well to standard high-dose inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting bronchodilators, requiring additional interventions. It affects a small percentage of asthma patients but accounts for a disproportionate share of healthcare costs and morbidity. Key facts include persistent symptoms, frequent exacerbations, and reduced lung function, often necessitating advanced treatments like biologic therapy or bronchial thermoplasty.

A Genetic Risk Panel is a comprehensive blood or saliva test that analyzes your DNA for inherited mutations linked to common hereditary conditions. Key panels include hereditary cancer screening (e.g., BRCA1/2 for breast/ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome genes), cardiovascular gene panels for conditions like familial hypercholesterolemia, and pharmacogenomics to predict drug responses. Results help guide preventive care, early detection, and personalized treatment plans.

This is a minimally invasive surgery to repair a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Using 25-gauge instruments, the surgeon makes tiny incisions to remove the vitreous gel (vitrectomy), then applies endolaser to seal retinal tears. Finally, a gas bubble is injected into the eye to hold the retina in place while it heals. The gas gradually absorbs over weeks, and patients must maintain a specific head position postoperatively.

TOETVA is a minimally invasive thyroid surgery performed entirely through the mouth, using small incisions inside the lower lip. A thin endoscope and specialized instruments are inserted through the vestibular approach to access and remove part or all of the thyroid gland. This technique avoids any visible neck scar, as all incisions are hidden within the oral cavity. The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours under general anesthesia, and patients can expect a hospital stay of 3–5 days.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive lung disease characterized by scarring (fibrosis) of the lung tissue, which leads to worsening shortness of breath and reduced oxygen exchange. The cause is unknown, hence the term 'idiopathic.' Key facts include that IPF primarily affects older adults, has a median survival of 3–5 years without treatment, and is managed with antifibrotic medications like nintedanib and pirfenidone, along with lung transplant evaluation for eligible patients.

The procedure consists of three monthly intravitreal injections of either conbercept or a ranibizumab biosimilar. Each injection is performed in an outpatient setting under topical anesthesia, where a very fine needle delivers the medication into the vitreous cavity of the eye to inhibit abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage. The entire process takes about 15–20 minutes per visit, with no overnight stay required.

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is a surgical procedure that removes excess soft tissue from the pharynx, including the uvula, soft palate, and sometimes the tonsils, to widen the airway and reduce retropalatal collapse. Performed under general anesthesia, it typically takes 1–2 hours and aims to alleviate obstructive sleep apnea by preventing the soft palate from blocking the throat during sleep. The surgery is targeted at the retropalatal region, where tissue redundancy is most common.

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a type of head and neck cancer that originates in the nasopharynx, the upper part of the throat behind the nose. It is notably more common in Southeast Asia, with the highest incidence in southern China, particularly Guangdong Province. Key facts include its strong association with the Epstein-Barr virus, genetic susceptibility, and dietary factors like salted fish. Early symptoms may include a painless neck lump, nasal congestion, or hearing loss, and it is highly treatable when caught early.

This comprehensive screening includes a blood panel analyzing key biomarkers, 10 tumor markers for early cancer detection, a chest CT scan, an abdominal ultrasound, an electrocardiogram (ECG), and a consultation with an internal medicine specialist. All procedures are performed in a single day at a premium health screening center, using advanced diagnostic equipment. Results are typically available the same day, allowing for immediate discussion with your physician.

This program combines daily physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and speech therapy (ST) with advanced Lokomat robotic gait training and traditional Chinese acupuncture. Sessions are structured to maximize neuroplasticity and functional recovery, typically lasting 3–4 hours per day, five to six days per week. The Lokomat system uses a robotic exoskeleton to support and guide walking movements, while acupuncture may help reduce spasticity and improve circulation. All therapies are coordinated by a multidisciplinary team of rehabilitation specialists.

Pulmonary nodule evaluation is a systematic process to assess small lung lesions detected incidentally or through screening. It typically follows the Lung-RADS protocol, using low-dose CT scans to classify nodules by malignancy risk. Key facts include that most nodules are benign, but early detection and characterization are critical for managing potential lung cancer. Advanced techniques like navigation bronchoscopy biopsy allow precise sampling, and ablation can treat early-stage cancer without major surgery.

Thyroid cancer originates in the cells of the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped organ in the neck that regulates metabolism. It is one of the most treatable cancers, with a five-year survival rate exceeding 98% for localized cases. Common types include papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic, with papillary being the most prevalent and curable.

This premium screening combines advanced imaging and endoscopic procedures over two days. It includes a brain MRI to assess neurological structures, a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and valves, a carotid ultrasound to check for plaque or stenosis in neck arteries, and an upper endoscopy under sedation to examine the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. All procedures are performed in a single facility with same-day reporting of results.

This program combines continuous passive motion (CPM) therapy, manual therapy, and gait training. CPM uses a motorized device to gently move your replaced joint through a controlled range of motion, reducing stiffness. Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques by a physiotherapist to improve soft tissue mobility and joint alignment. Gait training focuses on retraining your walking pattern with assistive devices as needed, aiming to restore functional movement within two weeks.

Metabolic or bariatric surgery includes procedures like sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass, designed to treat severe obesity and its related comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. These surgeries reduce stomach size or reroute the digestive tract to promote significant weight loss and improve metabolic health. Key facts include a type 2 diabetes remission rate of over 70% and substantial long-term weight loss, making it a highly effective intervention for eligible patients.

Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ behind the stomach that aids digestion and blood sugar regulation. It is often aggressive and diagnosed at advanced stages, with a five-year survival rate around 10% globally. Key facts include that adenocarcinoma is the most common type, and risk factors include smoking, obesity, and family history.

This comprehensive two-day screening combines a whole-body PET-CT scan, which uses a radioactive tracer to detect metabolic activity indicative of cancer or inflammation, with tumor marker blood tests and upper and lower endoscopy (gastroscopy and colonoscopy) performed under sedation. The PET-CT provides functional imaging of organs and tissues, while the endoscopies allow direct visual inspection of the digestive tract, with biopsy capability if needed. All procedures are coordinated to minimize discomfort and maximize diagnostic yield, with same-day reporting for the PET-CT and preliminary endoscopy findings.

This structured 8-week program is divided into progressive phases. Initially, you focus on protected range of motion (ROM) and pain/swelling management, gradually advancing to weight-bearing exercises and neuromuscular retraining. The later stages include strength building and a running progression protocol, all supervised by rehabilitation specialists to ensure safe return to activity.

Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces excessive thyroid hormone, accelerating the body's metabolism. Graves disease, an autoimmune disorder, is the most common cause, often presenting with symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and bulging eyes. It affects approximately 1 in 200 people, with women at higher risk.

Ovarian cancer is a malignant growth that begins in the ovaries, often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to subtle symptoms. Key facts include that it is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women, with risk factors such as age, family history, and BRCA gene mutations. Early detection significantly improves outcomes, but screening remains challenging.

This service uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to analyze over 50 genes associated with hereditary cancer syndromes, such as BRCA1/2, Lynch syndrome genes, and others. A simple blood or saliva sample is collected, and results are processed within approximately four weeks. After the report is ready, you will have a one-on-one session with a certified genetic counsellor who explains your results, assesses your personal and family cancer risk, and provides guidance on screening or preventive measures. The entire process is non-invasive and does not require any special preparation.

This program combines telemetry-monitored exercise sessions with nutritional counseling and cardiovascular risk factor modification. Each session includes supervised aerobic and resistance training while your heart rhythm is continuously tracked via wireless telemetry. You will also receive personalized dietary guidance and education on managing blood pressure, cholesterol, and stress. The program spans 6 weeks with two visits per week, totaling 12 sessions, and is designed to improve cardiac function and reduce future event risk.

Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) in children is a medical condition where the pituitary gland does not produce enough growth hormone, leading to slowed growth and short stature. It is typically diagnosed through blood tests, bone age X-rays, and growth chart monitoring. Early detection and treatment with recombinant growth hormone (somatropin) can help children achieve a more normal height and improve overall development.

This treatment combines Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) with concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). IMRT delivers precisely shaped radiation beams to the tumor while sparing nearby healthy tissues, such as the salivary glands and spinal cord. The protocol consists of 33 daily fractions (Monday through Friday) over approximately seven weeks, with weekly intravenous cisplatin infusions. The cisplatin acts as a radiosensitizer, making cancer cells more vulnerable to radiation. This concurrent approach is considered a standard of care for locoregionally advanced NPC.

This minimally invasive procedure involves placing one-way endobronchial valves (Zephyr) into specific airways of the most hyperinflated lung lobes via a bronchoscope passed through the mouth. The valves allow trapped air and secretions to escape but prevent air from re-entering, causing the targeted lobe to collapse and reduce lung volume. This improves diaphragm mechanics and allows healthier lung tissue to function more efficiently. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or moderate sedation and typically takes 30–60 minutes.

Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell that normally produces antibodies. It causes abnormal plasma cells to accumulate in the bone marrow, interfering with normal blood cell production and leading to bone lesions, anemia, kidney dysfunction, and immune suppression. It is the second most common hematologic malignancy, with an average diagnosis age around 65–70. While incurable, modern treatments have significantly extended survival and improved quality of life.

A total thyroidectomy is a surgical removal of the entire thyroid gland, typically performed under general anesthesia. Following surgery, I-131 ablation involves administering a radioactive iodine capsule or liquid to destroy any remaining thyroid tissue or microscopic cancer cells, particularly in papillary or follicular carcinoma. The surgery usually takes 2-3 hours, and the I-131 treatment is given 4-6 weeks later to allow for healing and optimal uptake. Patients are isolated for a short period post-ablation to minimize radiation exposure to others, with the entire process spanning 7-10 days in the hospital.

Mepolizumab is a biologic therapy administered as a monthly subcutaneous injection. It works by blocking interleukin-5 (IL-5), a protein that drives eosinophil production and activation in eosinophilic severe asthma. The treatment consists of 12 monthly doses given in an outpatient setting, typically requiring 15–30 minutes per visit. It is not a rescue medication but a long-term controller therapy aimed at reducing exacerbations and improving lung function.

Pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD) refers to structural heart defects present at birth, such as tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), transposition of the great arteries, and single ventricle conditions requiring Fontan palliation. These defects affect normal blood flow and often require surgical intervention in infancy or childhood. Early diagnosis and timely surgery are critical for long-term survival and quality of life.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, most often the legs. It is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty plaque inside artery walls. Key facts: PAD affects over 200 million people worldwide, and critical limb ischemia (CLI) is its most severe form, carrying a high risk of amputation if untreated. Early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life.

The Whipple procedure is a complex surgery to remove the head of the pancreas, the duodenum, a portion of the bile duct, and sometimes part of the stomach. The surgeon then reconstructs the digestive tract by reconnecting the remaining pancreas, bile duct, and stomach to the small intestine. This is typically performed for tumors in the pancreatic head or surrounding structures.

Pirfenidone Antifibrotic Therapy is a daily oral medication regimen designed to slow the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other fibrotic lung diseases. Patients take prescribed doses of pirfenidone at home, typically three times per day with food. The therapy is monitored quarterly through liver function tests (LFTs) to check for hepatic side effects and pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to assess lung capacity and disease stability. This is an annual maintenance treatment, not a one-time procedure, and all monitoring visits are performed on an outpatient basis.

Neonatal surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on newborns, typically within the first 28 days of life, to correct congenital anomalies. Key conditions treated include esophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, omphalocele, and gastroschisis. These are often life-saving interventions requiring highly specialized pediatric surgical teams and neonatal intensive care support.

Aortic dissection is a serious condition where a tear occurs in the inner layer of the aorta, causing blood to flow between the layers of the aortic wall, which can lead to rupture or organ damage. It is classified into Type A (involving the ascending aorta, often requiring emergency surgery like the Bentall procedure) and Type B (involving the descending aorta, often managed with TEVAR endovascular stent-graft). Prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical, as the condition is life-threatening without intervention.

This treatment begins with maximum surgical cytoreduction, where the surgeon removes as much visible tumor mass as possible, typically for advanced ovarian or peritoneal cancers. After a recovery period of about 2–3 weeks, you receive adjuvant chemotherapy with Carboplatin and Taxol (paclitaxel) to eliminate residual cancer cells. The entire hospital stay spans 14–21 days, followed by 6–8 weeks of recovery at home. This combined approach aims to improve survival outcomes by reducing tumor burden before systemic therapy.

Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive, CT-guided procedure where a thin antenna is inserted through the skin directly into the lung nodule. Microwave energy heats and destroys the tumor cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. The entire process typically takes under an hour and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing you to remain comfortable. You can expect to stay in the hospital for 2–3 days for observation and monitoring.

Rare Genetic Disease Diagnostics involves advanced genomic testing methods, such as whole exome sequencing (WES) and whole genome sequencing (WGS), to identify the underlying genetic causes of undiagnosed pediatric conditions. These tests analyze a child's DNA to detect mutations that may be responsible for developmental delays, metabolic disorders, or other rare diseases. WES examines the protein-coding regions of genes, while WGS provides a comprehensive view of the entire genome, offering higher diagnostic yields for complex cases.

A rotator cuff tear is a common shoulder injury involving one or more of the four tendons that surround the shoulder joint. It can result from acute trauma or degenerative wear over time, leading to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion. Key facts: partial or full-thickness tears are diagnosed via MRI, and if left untreated, may progress to chronic disability. Arthroscopic repair with suture anchors is the standard surgical approach for restoring tendon integrity.

This therapy begins with collecting your own T cells through apheresis. These cells are genetically engineered in a laboratory to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting BCMA, a protein on myeloma cells. After a short conditioning chemotherapy to reduce existing immune cells, the modified CAR-T cells are infused back into your bloodstream. They then seek out and destroy BCMA-positive myeloma cells. The entire process, from cell collection to infusion, typically takes 3–4 weeks in a specialized oncology center.

This outpatient procedure begins with the placement of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor, typically worn for 14 days, which measures interstitial glucose levels in real time. You will then be fitted with an insulin pump, a small device that delivers rapid-acting insulin through a cannula placed under the skin. Over the next 3–5 days, our endocrinology team provides personalized training on pump operation and adjusts the pump’s basal and bolus algorithms based on your CGM data and blood glucose patterns. The goal is to achieve stable glucose control with fewer injections and reduced hypoglycemia risk.

VATS Lobectomy, or thoracoscopic lobectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove an entire lobe of the lung. It is performed under general anesthesia through 3 to 4 small incisions (each about 1-2 cm) in the chest wall, through which a tiny camera and specialized instruments are inserted. The surgeon views the lung on a high-definition monitor and carefully detaches and removes the diseased lobe, while the remaining healthy lung tissue expands to fill the space. This approach avoids the large incisions and rib-spreading required in traditional open surgery, leading to less postoperative pain and a faster recovery.

This is a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure to reopen narrowed or blocked arteries. A thin tube (catheter) is guided through a small incision in the groin or wrist to the affected vessel. A balloon at the tip is inflated to compress the plaque, and a drug-coated balloon (DCB) delivers medication (e.g., paclitaxel) directly to the artery wall to prevent re-narrowing. Unlike stenting, no permanent implant is left behind, which can be advantageous in certain cases.

This minimally invasive procedure removes approximately 75-80% of the stomach, leaving a narrow, banana-shaped sleeve. It is performed through several small incisions using a laparoscope, which reduces surgical trauma. The operation typically takes 1-2 hours under general anesthesia, and most patients stay in the hospital for 5-7 days for monitoring and initial dietary adjustment.

Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is a procedure that extracts, freezes, and stores a woman's eggs for future use. Using vitrification—an ultra-rapid freezing method—eggs are preserved with high survival rates, typically yielding 10-15 mature oocytes per cycle. This option is used for medical reasons (e.g., before chemotherapy) or social reasons (e.g., delaying childbearing).

This treatment uses Chinese-manufactured checkpoint inhibitors, such as Tislelizumab or Sintilimab, which are administered intravenously over approximately 30 minutes every three weeks. These drugs block the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, reactivating your immune system's T-cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. It is an outpatient procedure, so you can return home shortly after each infusion.

Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure to treat a type B aortic dissection. Under fluoroscopic guidance, a stent-graft is inserted through a small incision in the femoral artery and deployed to seal the entry tear in the aortic wall, redirecting blood flow through the graft. This avoids open chest surgery and reduces trauma, with the entire procedure typically taking two to four hours under general anesthesia.

Radioactive iodine therapy involves a single oral dose of I-131, a radioactive isotope that is selectively absorbed by overactive thyroid cells or thyroid cancer cells, destroying them with minimal impact on surrounding tissues. After ingestion, you will be required to stay in a designated isolation room for about two weeks to prevent radiation exposure to others. The procedure is typically performed in a specialized nuclear medicine unit within a hospital, and you will be monitored throughout the isolation period.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventually respiratory failure. It is a rare condition, with an average survival of 2–5 years from diagnosis, though some patients live longer. There is currently no cure, and standard treatments focus on symptom management.

This procedure removes the tumor and a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue while preserving the breast. The sentinel lymph node biopsy identifies and removes the first few lymph nodes that cancer is most likely to spread to, reducing the need for extensive lymph node removal. It is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1–2 hours.

This is an arthroscopic (keyhole) procedure to reattach a torn rotator cuff tendon to the humeral head. Two rows of small anchors are placed into the bone, and sutures are passed through the tendon in a crisscross pattern, creating a broad, secure footprint for healing. The double-row technique provides stronger fixation and better contact than single-row methods, which may improve tendon-to-bone healing and long-term outcomes.

This therapy involves daily subcutaneous injections of somatropin (recombinant human growth hormone) administered by the patient or a caregiver at home. Treatment is prescribed and monitored by an endocrinologist, with quarterly clinic visits for blood tests, IGF-1 level checks, and dose adjustments. The program spans one year, and all injections are outpatient-based, requiring no hospital stay.

Lupus (SLE) — Stem Cell Therapy refers to the use of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC) infusion to treat refractory lupus nephritis and severe systemic lupus erythematosus. Key facts include landmark Chinese trials such as ASTIL and MIST, which have demonstrated significant remission rates and improved renal function in patients unresponsive to conventional immunosuppression. This therapy aims to reset the immune system and reduce inflammation, offering a potential alternative for those with limited treatment options.

This procedure removes the entire breast tissue along with the overlying skin and nipple-areola complex, plus the axillary lymph nodes (levels I and II). The pectoralis major muscle is preserved, which helps maintain chest wall strength and arm function. It is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2–4 hours.

The cycle begins with ovarian stimulation using injectable hormones over 10–14 days to encourage multiple follicles to mature. Egg retrieval is a brief outpatient procedure under sedation, where a needle is guided through the vaginal wall to collect eggs. The eggs are then vitrified—a rapid freezing method that prevents ice crystal formation—and stored in liquid nitrogen for up to one year. The entire process typically takes 2–3 weeks.

This is a risk-stratified, 2.5-year chemotherapy regimen for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It uses multiple chemotherapeutic agents in phases: induction, consolidation, interim maintenance, delayed intensification, and long-term maintenance. Treatment is tailored to the child’s risk group (standard, high, or very high) based on genetic and clinical factors. The protocol aims to eradicate leukemic cells while minimizing long-term toxicity, with the maintenance phase typically managed on an outpatient basis.

Insomnia and anxiety are closely linked conditions where persistent worry and stress disrupt sleep, creating a cycle that impairs daily function. Chronic insomnia affects about 10–30% of adults globally, and anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health issues. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these are viewed as imbalances in the body's energy (qi), often involving the heart, liver, and kidney systems. TCM focuses on restoring harmony through herbal formulas and acupuncture, addressing root causes rather than just symptoms.

This is a minimally invasive surgery where the surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen rather than a large open cut. A laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted to view the liver. Indocyanine green (ICG) dye is injected intravenously; it accumulates in liver tumors and fluoresces under near-infrared light, allowing the surgeon to precisely identify and remove only the cancerous tissue while sparing healthy liver. The procedure typically takes 2–4 hours under general anesthesia.

The treatment consists of four intrathecal injections of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) administered via lumbar puncture, spaced two weeks apart over an eight-week period. Each injection delivers stem cells directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, allowing them to target the central nervous system. Patients also undergo daily physical therapy to support motor function and rehabilitation. The entire protocol is performed on an outpatient basis, with each session lasting about 30–60 minutes.

The Arterial Switch Operation is a corrective surgery for d-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA), a congenital heart defect where the aorta and pulmonary artery are reversed. During the procedure, the surgeon reconnects the arteries to their correct positions and reimplant the coronary arteries. This restores normal blood flow, allowing oxygen-rich blood to reach the body. The operation is typically performed within the first few weeks of life.

Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure performed under local anesthesia. A catheter is inserted into the femoral artery and guided to the hepatic artery supplying the liver tumor. Through this catheter, a concentrated dose of chemotherapy drugs is delivered directly to the tumor, followed by injection of embolic agents (such as microspheres or gelatin sponge particles) to block the blood flow. This dual action starves the tumor of oxygen and nutrients while trapping the chemotherapy within the tumor site, maximizing local effect and minimizing systemic side effects.

This therapy involves three intravenous infusions of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) administered biweekly over six weeks. Each infusion delivers a controlled dose of stem cells that are expanded in a GMP-compliant laboratory to ensure purity and potency. The cells are thawed, washed, and infused over approximately 30–60 minutes, with vital signs monitored throughout. The aim is to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation in refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

The procedure involves initial stabilization of the newborn in a neonatal intensive care unit, often with respiratory support, followed by delayed surgical repair. Surgery is performed either through an open incision or using a minimally invasive thoracoscopic approach to reposition the abdominal organs and close the diaphragmatic defect. The delayed approach allows for physiological optimization before surgery, which can improve outcomes.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, IBS and digestive disorders are viewed as imbalances in the spleen and stomach systems, often involving Qi stagnation, dampness, or cold. TCM treatment focuses on restoring harmony through herbal medicine, acupuncture, and dietary therapy tailored to your specific pattern. Key facts: TCM does not use a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, it addresses root causes like stress, poor diet, or weak digestion, aiming for long-term relief rather than symptom suppression.

ESD is a minimally invasive endoscopic technique used to remove early-stage gastric cancer confined to the mucosal layer. Under sedation, a thin, flexible endoscope with a specialized knife is inserted through the mouth into the stomach. The surgeon carefully dissects the tumor and a margin of surrounding healthy tissue from the underlying submucosa, allowing en bloc removal for precise pathological evaluation. This avoids open surgery and preserves the stomach.

The programme is a 4-week course combining custom herbal decoctions with 8 acupuncture sessions. Each week, a TCM practitioner assesses your pulse and tongue to adjust the herbal formula, which is prepared as a daily decoction. Acupuncture sessions, typically twice weekly, target specific meridians to regulate the nervous system and promote sleep. The herbs and needling work synergistically to address underlying imbalances such as liver fire or heart-kidney disharmony.

Trio Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) analyzes the protein-coding regions of the genome for the child (proband) and both biological parents. By comparing the three genetic profiles, our clinical team can identify de novo mutations or inherited variants linked to the child's condition. The process involves a simple blood or saliva sample from each family member, followed by advanced sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. Results are interpreted by board-certified geneticists and pediatric specialists, with a typical turnaround of 4–6 weeks.

Postpartum Recovery using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic approach to restoring a woman's health after childbirth. It typically involves a structured 30–42 day confinement period focusing on herbal tonics to replenish blood and energy, acupuncture to balance hormones and relieve pain, lactation support to enhance milk production, and pelvic floor therapy to strengthen muscles weakened during delivery. Key facts: this practice is deeply rooted in Chinese culture and emphasizes rest, warmth, and nutrient-dense foods to prevent future health issues like chronic fatigue or joint pain.

The programme is a 6-week non-invasive treatment combining personalized herbal formulas, moxibustion (heat therapy on acupoints), and tailored dietary guidance. Your TCM practitioner will first conduct a tongue and pulse diagnosis to identify underlying imbalances, then prescribe a custom herbal decoction to address issues like bloating or poor digestion. Moxibustion sessions, typically 2–3 times per week, stimulate specific points to improve gut motility and reduce inflammation. Dietary guidance focuses on food choices that support your digestive system based on TCM principles, such as avoiding raw or greasy foods. The entire protocol is adjusted weekly based on your progress.

This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove part or all of the stomach, combined with a D2 lymph node dissection that clears lymph nodes along key blood vessels. Small incisions are used for a camera and instruments, allowing precise tumor removal and staging. It is considered the standard radical surgery for advanced gastric cancer in many international guidelines.

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, distorting vision. It typically starts in adolescence or early adulthood and can worsen over time. Key facts: it affects about 1 in 2,000 people, is not contagious, and early diagnosis is crucial to prevent severe vision loss. Treatments like corneal cross-linking (CXL) can halt progression, while advanced cases may require ICL implants or corneal transplant.

FOLFOX is a combination chemotherapy regimen that includes oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and leucovorin. It is administered intravenously every two weeks for a total of 12 cycles, typically over six months. Each cycle involves an infusion that takes about two to four hours, and the treatment is given on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home the same day.

This programme combines weekly customized herbal formulas, acupuncture sessions, and guided pelvic floor exercises over four weeks. Each week, a TCM practitioner adjusts the herbal prescription based on your recovery progress, while acupuncture targets energy imbalances and supports uterine involution. Pelvic floor exercises are taught to strengthen weakened muscles after childbirth. The entire protocol is non-invasive and designed to restore balance and vitality postpartum.

This procedure uses the Da Vinci surgical system, a robotic platform that allows the surgeon to operate through small incisions with enhanced precision and 3D visualization. During the repair, the surgeon places an annuloplasty ring around the mitral valve to reinforce and reshape it, restoring proper valve function. The robotic arms translate the surgeon’s hand movements into tiny, scaled motions, enabling complex suturing without a large chest incision. This minimally invasive approach typically results in less pain and a shorter hospital stay compared to open-heart surgery.

Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes complication caused by damage to the blood vessels of the retina. It can lead to vision loss and blindness if untreated. Key facts: it affects up to 80% of people who have had diabetes for 20 years or more, and early stages often have no symptoms. Advanced stages may require treatments like anti-VEGF injections, laser photocoagulation, or vitrectomy.

This procedure is a three-incision minimally invasive esophagectomy with a cervical anastomosis. It involves removing the esophagus through small incisions in the chest (thoracoscopic), abdomen (laparoscopic), and neck, then reconstructing the digestive tract by pulling the stomach up to connect with the remaining esophagus in the neck. It is considered the gold standard for mid to upper esophageal cancer, offering reduced blood loss, less pain, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.

The procedure involves applying riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops to the cornea, followed by exposure to a controlled dose of ultraviolet-A (UV-A) light for approximately 10 minutes. This combination strengthens the corneal tissue by creating new chemical bonds between collagen fibers, helping to halt the progression of keratoconus or other corneal ectasias. The accelerated protocol uses higher-intensity UV-A for a shorter duration compared to traditional CXL, making it more convenient for patients.

This 4-week protocol combines intravenous infusions of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) with intensive physical, occupational, and speech therapy (PT/OT/ST).

Strabismus, commonly known as squint, is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned with each other, causing one eye to turn in, out, up, or down. This misalignment can lead to double vision, reduced depth perception, and, in children, amblyopia (lazy eye). It affects approximately 4% of the population and can be present from birth or develop later due to injury or neurological issues. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preserving binocular vision.

Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, is a disease in which malignant cells form in the lining of the stomach. It is one of the most common cancers in East Asia, where dietary, environmental, and genetic factors contribute to higher incidence rates. Early detection significantly improves outcomes, and China has become a global leader in screening and early intervention.

Proton beam therapy uses pencil-beam scanning to deliver precise radiation doses directly to tumors, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. At SPHIC (Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center), this advanced technique targets cancers with high accuracy, reducing toxicity to organs like the rectum and bladder compared to conventional IMRT. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, typically over 5 to 7 weeks, with each session lasting about 15 to 30 minutes.

This procedure corrects eye misalignment by detaching and reattaching one or more eye muscles (recession or resection) using temporary, adjustable sutures. The key difference from traditional strabismus surgery is that the sutures can be fine-tuned while you are awake several hours after the initial operation, allowing the surgeon to achieve optimal alignment. The adjustment is painless and takes only a few minutes.

Mohs surgery is a precise technique for removing skin cancer layer by layer. The surgeon excises a thin layer of tissue and immediately examines it under a microscope in an on-site lab to check for remaining cancer cells. This process repeats only until no cancer is detected, allowing maximal preservation of healthy skin. The entire procedure is typically completed in a single day as an outpatient visit.

All results are compiled into a same-day report.

Trigeminal Neuralgia is a chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. It is characterized by sudden, severe, electric-shock-like pain on one side of the face, often triggered by routine activities like brushing teeth or chewing. The condition is more common in women and people over 50, and while not life-threatening, it can significantly impair quality of life.

R-CHOP is a standard treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, combining rituximab (a monoclonal antibody) with four chemotherapy drugs: cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone. The regimen is administered intravenously over several hours in an outpatient setting, repeated every 21 days for a total of 6 cycles. This approach targets both the lymphoma cells and the immune system to enhance treatment efficacy.

Endovascular coil embolization is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat brain aneurysms. A catheter is inserted through the femoral artery in the groin and guided to the aneurysm site using real-time X-ray imaging. Tiny platinum coils are then deployed into the aneurysm to block blood flow, reducing the risk of rupture. The entire process is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires a hospital stay of 3 to 5 days.

Prostate cancer is a malignancy that develops in the prostate gland, a small walnut-shaped organ in men that produces seminal fluid. It is one of the most common cancers among men, often growing slowly and remaining confined to the gland initially, though aggressive forms can spread. Key facts include that early-stage prostate cancer may cause no symptoms, and screening via PSA blood tests and digital rectal exams is crucial for detection. Treatment options range from active surveillance for low-risk cases to surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy for more advanced disease.

This therapy begins with collecting your own T cells via apheresis. These cells are genetically modified in a lab to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting CD19 on B-cell lymphoma cells. After a short course of lymphodepleting chemotherapy, the CAR-T cells are infused back into your bloodstream. They then multiply and attack the cancer cells. The entire inpatient process typically takes 3–4 weeks, with close monitoring for side effects.

This is an open craniotomy performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small opening in the skull, uses a microscope to locate the aneurysm, and places a small titanium clip across its neck to block blood flow into the aneurysm sac. The clip remains permanently in place, and the bone flap is reattached. The procedure typically takes 2–4 hours.

Epilepsy surgery refers to procedures that remove or disconnect the brain region responsible for seizures in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Common techniques include temporal lobectomy, stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)-guided resection, and laser ablation. These surgeries aim to reduce or eliminate seizures when medications fail, with success rates of 60–80% in carefully selected patients.

Cervical cancer begins in the cells lining the cervix, the lower part of the uterus connecting to the vagina. It is most often caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV). Key facts: it is one of the most preventable cancers through HPV vaccination and regular screening, yet remains a leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Early-stage cervical cancer often has no symptoms, highlighting the importance of routine Pap smears and HPV testing.

This procedure combines two advanced techniques to maximize safe tumor removal while preserving critical brain functions. First, the patient is given a drink containing 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) several hours before surgery, which causes tumor cells to glow pink under a special microscope. During the operation, the patient is woken up to perform simple tasks (e.g., speaking or moving) so the surgical team can map and avoid eloquent brain areas. An intraoperative MRI is then used to confirm the extent of resection before closing. This integrated approach allows surgeons to remove more tumor tissue while minimizing neurological deficits.

Microvascular Decompression is a neurosurgical procedure performed through a retrosigmoid craniotomy, where a small opening is made behind the ear to access the cranial nerves. The surgeon identifies a blood vessel compressing a nerve—typically the trigeminal nerve for trigeminal neuralgia—and places a small Teflon pad between the vessel and the nerve to relieve pressure. This minimally invasive technique aims to eliminate abnormal nerve signals while preserving normal function. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2–4 hours.

A pituitary adenoma is a benign tumor that develops in the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain that regulates key hormones. These tumors are common and often non-cancerous, but they can cause hormonal imbalances, vision problems, or headaches. Treatment typically involves surgical removal, especially if the tumor is causing symptoms or growing.

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's immune system. It occurs when lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, grow abnormally and form tumors. There are two main types: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with the latter being more common. Key facts include that it is one of the most treatable cancers, especially when diagnosed early, and treatment options have advanced significantly in recent years.

The Stupp Protocol is the global standard of care for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM). It combines radiotherapy (RT) delivered over six weeks with daily oral temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. After this initial phase, patients receive six cycles of adjuvant TMZ alone. The entire regimen is typically administered on an outpatient basis, with regular monitoring of blood counts and clinical status to manage side effects.

This procedure involves stereotactically implanting thin electrodes into the subthalamic nucleus (STN) on both sides of the brain, followed by placement of a pulse generator (similar to a pacemaker) under the skin near the collarbone. The electrodes deliver controlled electrical stimulation to modulate abnormal neural activity, typically for movement disorders like Parkinson's disease. The surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia using MRI-guided targeting for precision, and the device is programmed post-operatively to optimize symptom control.

Acoustic neuroma, also known as vestibular schwannoma, is a benign tumor that develops on the vestibular nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brain. It typically grows slowly and can cause symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance problems. While non-cancerous, it may press against nearby structures, requiring treatment to preserve neurological function.

A glioma is a type of brain tumor that originates from glial cells, which support nerve cells. It is the most common primary brain tumor in adults, with severity ranging from low-grade (slow-growing) to high-grade (aggressive, such as glioblastoma). Key facts include that gliomas account for about 30% of all brain tumors and require specialized, multidisciplinary care for optimal outcomes.

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical technique performed on a beating heart without the use of a heart-lung machine. The surgeon stabilizes small sections of the heart to bypass blocked coronary arteries using healthy blood vessels taken from the patient's leg, arm, or chest. This approach avoids the potential complications associated with cardiopulmonary bypass, such as systemic inflammation and neurological injury.

This procedure involves the surgical removal of the anterior portion of the temporal lobe, including the amygdala and hippocampus, to treat drug-resistant epilepsy caused by hippocampal sclerosis. The operation is performed under general anesthesia with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring to map and preserve critical brain functions such as memory and language. It is a precise, well-established neurosurgical technique aimed at eliminating or significantly reducing seizure activity.

A heart transplant is a surgical procedure in which a diseased, failing heart is replaced with a healthy donor heart. It is typically reserved for patients with end-stage heart failure who have not responded to other treatments. Key facts include that the procedure requires lifelong immunosuppressive medication to prevent rejection, and survival rates at leading Chinese centers like Fuwai Hospital and Wuhan Union Hospital are comparable to international standards.

This is a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. A thin tube is inserted through the wrist or groin artery, guided to the heart, and a balloon expands to compress the plaque. A drug-eluting stent—a small mesh tube coated with medication—is then placed to keep the artery open and reduce the risk of re-narrowing. The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours, with same-day or overnight hospital stay.

This is a minimally invasive neurosurgical technique used to remove pituitary tumors and certain skull base lesions. A high-definition 3D endoscope is inserted through the nasal cavity and sphenoid sinus, allowing the surgeon to access the sella turcica without any external incisions or visible scarring. The 3D visualization provides enhanced depth perception for precise tumor removal while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.

Aortic valve stenosis is a condition where the heart's aortic valve narrows, restricting blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. This forces the heart to work harder, potentially leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and fainting. If left untreated, severe stenosis can cause heart failure or sudden cardiac death. It is most common in older adults and can be congenital or develop due to calcium buildup on the valve.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly (aortic stenosis). A collapsible replacement valve is delivered through a catheter inserted via a small incision in the femoral artery (groin) and guided to the heart. Once positioned inside the diseased valve, the new valve is expanded to push the old leaflets aside and begin regulating blood flow. The entire procedure is performed without stopping the heart or using cardiopulmonary bypass, typically lasting 1–2 hours under conscious sedation or general anesthesia.

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery is a non-invasive, single-session treatment that delivers highly focused beams of radiation to a precisely targeted brain lesion, such as a tumor smaller than 3 cm. Using stereotactic frame-based imaging, the system maps the lesion in 3D and directs up to 201 cobalt-60 sources to converge exactly on the target, sparing surrounding healthy tissue. The entire process—from frame placement to treatment—takes several hours, but you return home the same day with no incisions or general anesthesia required.

A corneal transplant is a surgical procedure that replaces damaged or diseased corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue. It is performed to restore vision, reduce pain, and improve the overall health of the eye. Common techniques include DALK (Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty), DSAEK (Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty), and DMEK (Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty), each tailored to specific corneal conditions. These are advanced lamellar procedures that selectively replace only the diseased layers, leading to faster recovery and lower rejection risk compared to full-thickness transplants.

Mitral regurgitation is a heart valve condition where the mitral valve does not close properly, causing blood to leak backward into the left atrium. This can lead to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and heart enlargement if untreated. It is one of the most common valvular heart diseases, affecting millions worldwide, and can be caused by age-related degeneration, rheumatic heart disease, or structural abnormalities.

SAVR is an open-chest procedure where the surgeon removes the diseased aortic valve and replaces it with either a mechanical valve (made of durable materials like carbon) or a biological valve (from animal tissue). The operation requires a sternotomy—a vertical incision through the breastbone—and is performed under general anesthesia with cardiopulmonary bypass, meaning a heart-lung machine temporarily takes over circulation. The choice of valve depends on your age, lifestyle, and need for lifelong anticoagulation if mechanical. The procedure typically takes 2–4 hours, followed by a hospital stay of 10–14 days in China.

The procedure consists of two coordinated surgeries. First, the healthy donor undergoes a laparoscopic nephrectomy, a minimally invasive technique to remove one kidney through small abdominal incisions, reducing pain and scarring. Simultaneously, the recipient receives the donated kidney through a separate incision in the lower abdomen, where the new kidney is connected to the recipient's blood vessels and bladder. The entire process is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires a hospital stay of 14–21 days for monitoring and immunosuppressive therapy initiation.

A bone marrow transplant, also known as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), is a procedure that replaces damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells. It is a key treatment for blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, as well as aplastic anemia and certain autoimmune diseases. Two main types exist: autologous (using the patient's own cells) and allogeneic (using a donor's cells). China has developed strong haploidentical (half-matched) transplant programs, expanding donor options for patients who lack a fully matched sibling.

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a common heart rhythm disorder where the upper chambers of the heart beat irregularly and often rapidly, increasing the risk of stroke and heart failure. Key facts: it affects millions worldwide, can be paroxysmal or persistent, and modern catheter ablation offers a potential cure for many patients.

The MitraClip is a minimally invasive, catheter-based treatment for mitral regurgitation. During the procedure, a small clip is guided through a vein in the leg to the heart, where it is attached to the mitral valve leaflets to improve valve closure. This is performed under general anesthesia with real-time imaging guidance, avoiding open-heart surgery and typically requiring only a small incision.

This procedure involves removing the right lobe of the liver from a living donor through a partial hepatectomy, then transplanting it into the recipient after removing their entire diseased liver. The donor's liver regenerates to near-full size within weeks, while the recipient receives a functional graft that takes over all liver functions. It is a complex surgery requiring precise vascular and biliary reconstruction, typically performed over 6–10 hours.

Bladder cancer begins when cells in the bladder lining grow uncontrollably. It is the ninth most common cancer worldwide, with blood in urine being the most frequent early symptom. Non-muscle-invasive disease is confined to the bladder lining, while muscle-invasive cancer penetrates deeper and may spread. Early detection significantly improves outcomes.

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are structural abnormalities of the heart present at birth, ranging from simple holes between chambers to complex malformations affecting blood flow. They are the most common type of birth defect, occurring in nearly 1% of live births worldwide. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are critical for long-term outcomes.

PFA uses ultra-short, high-voltage electrical pulses to create irreversible pores in cardiac tissue cells, selectively ablating arrhythmogenic myocardium while sparing surrounding structures like the esophagus and phrenic nerve. Unlike thermal ablation (radiofrequency or cryo), it is non-thermal and tissue-selective, reducing collateral damage. The procedure is performed via catheter access through the femoral vein, typically under conscious sedation or general anesthesia, and lasts 60–90 minutes. Most patients are discharged within 24–48 hours.

Orthotopic heart transplantation is a surgical procedure where the patient's diseased heart is removed and replaced with a healthy donor heart. In China, the bicaval anastomosis technique is commonly used, which involves connecting the donor heart's superior and inferior vena cavae directly to the recipient's corresponding vessels. This method preserves the shape and function of the right atrium, reducing the risk of arrhythmias and improving long-term outcomes. The surgery typically takes 4-6 hours and requires immediate post-operative care in an intensive care unit.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly affects men as they age. This enlargement can compress the urethra, leading to bothersome urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, weak stream, and difficulty emptying the bladder. BPH is a progressive condition, but with modern treatments, symptoms can be effectively managed.

This minimally invasive procedure repairs atrial or ventricular septal defects (holes in the heart wall) without open-heart surgery. A thin catheter is inserted through a blood vessel in the groin and guided to the heart, where a small, umbrella-like device is deployed to seal the defect. The entire process is performed under imaging guidance, typically takes 1–2 hours, and leaves no chest scar. Most patients are discharged within 3–5 days.

DSAEK (Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty) replaces only the diseased innermost layer of the cornea—the endothelium—with a thin donor graft. During surgery, your surgeon removes the damaged endothelial layer and attaches the donor tissue using an air bubble. This technique preserves most of your cornea's structure, leading to faster visual recovery and lower risk of rejection compared to full-thickness transplants.

Heart failure is a chronic condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, often due to weakened or stiffened heart muscle. Key facts include that it affects over 64 million people worldwide, and common causes are coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, and previous heart attacks. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention, but early diagnosis and advanced treatments can significantly improve quality of life and survival.

This is an open-heart surgery performed under general anesthesia to correct four congenital heart defects: ventricular septal defect closure, right ventricular outflow tract widening, and pulmonary valve repair. The surgeon uses cardiopulmonary bypass to stop the heart temporarily, allowing precise reconstruction. The ideal age for this procedure in China is 6–12 months, as early correction prevents long-term complications like cyanosis and growth delays.

Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) uses a half-matched family donor, such as a parent or sibling, to replace a patient's diseased bone marrow. The Beijing protocol combines a conditioning regimen with enhanced immunosuppression and graft manipulation to reduce rejection and graft-versus-host disease. Over 45–60 days, stem cells are collected from the donor, processed, and infused into the patient, followed by close monitoring for engraftment.

A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra, often caused by scar tissue from injury, infection, or prior medical procedures. This narrowing can obstruct urine flow, leading to discomfort, difficulty urinating, and recurrent urinary tract infections. Key facts: it is more common in men, and treatment options range from minimally invasive procedures like direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) for short strictures to definitive surgical repair with urethroplasty, often using a buccal mucosa graft for longer or recurrent strictures.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic heart condition where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick, making it harder for the heart to pump blood. It often causes symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting, and can lead to serious complications such as arrhythmias or sudden cardiac arrest. HCM is the most common inherited heart disease, affecting about 1 in 500 people worldwide.

CRT-D, or cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator, is a minimally invasive procedure where a small device is implanted under the skin near the collarbone. Leads (thin wires) are guided through veins to specific areas of the heart—the right atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle via the coronary sinus—to coordinate contractions and deliver a shock if a dangerous arrhythmia occurs. The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours under local anesthesia with sedation, and patients stay in the hospital for 3-5 days for monitoring and initial programming.

This minimally invasive procedure uses a thin, flexible ureteroscope passed through the urinary tract to visualize the stone. A holmium laser fiber is then introduced to fragment the stone into small, passable pieces (typically <2 cm). The procedure is performed under general or spinal anesthesia and usually takes 30–90 minutes, with most patients discharged within 1–2 days.

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, similar to varicose veins in the legs. It affects approximately 15% of men and is a common cause of reduced sperm quality and male infertility. Microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy is a precise surgical technique that can improve sperm parameters in 60-70% of cases.

Hip osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the cartilage cushioning the hip joint gradually wears away, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It is most common in older adults but can also result from injury or genetic factors. Key facts include that it affects millions worldwide, and advanced cases often require total hip replacement to restore function and relieve pain.

Surgical Septal Myectomy is an open-heart procedure performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision through the sternum (median sternotomy) to access the heart, then removes a small portion of the thickened septal muscle that obstructs blood flow from the left ventricle. This relieves the outflow tract obstruction caused by hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), improving cardiac function and symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain.

PCNL is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove large or complex kidney stones, such as staghorn calculi. Under general anesthesia, a small incision (about 1 cm) is made in your back, and a nephroscope is inserted directly into the kidney through a puncture tract. The stones are then fragmented using ultrasonic or laser energy and extracted through the scope. The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours and requires a hospital stay of 5–7 days for monitoring and recovery.

Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, is a procedure to correct skeletal irregularities of the jaw and face. It involves repositioning the upper jaw (Le Fort I osteotomy), lower jaw (bilateral sagittal split osteotomy or BSSO), or chin (genioplasty) to improve function, appearance, and stability. This surgery is typically recommended for patients with skeletal class II or III malocclusion, facial asymmetry, or obstructive sleep apnea. It is performed under general anesthesia and often requires orthodontic treatment before and after surgery.

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer, often compressing nearby nerves. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, neck, or limbs. It is most common in the lumbar (lower back) and cervical (neck) regions. Key facts: about 5–20 cases per 1,000 adults annually, and most patients improve with conservative care, but surgery may be needed for persistent symptoms.

The procedure uses the MAKO robotic arm to precisely prepare the bone surfaces and position a cobalt-chrome implant according to a pre-operative CT-based 3D plan. This allows for sub-millimeter accuracy in aligning the implant with your unique anatomy, which can improve joint function and longevity. The surgery is performed under general or spinal anesthesia and typically takes 1–2 hours. You will stay in the hospital for 2–3 days post-surgery.

Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) is a minimally invasive endoscopic surgery performed under general or spinal anesthesia. A resectoscope is inserted through the urethra into the bladder to visualize and remove abnormal tissue, typically for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The tumor is shaved off layer by layer, and the base is cauterized to control bleeding. Tissue samples are sent for pathological analysis to confirm diagnosis and staging.

Full-Arch Reconstruction is a comprehensive dental procedure that replaces all teeth in one or both jaws using a combination of dental implants, crowns, and veneers. It is designed for patients with severe tooth loss, decay, or damage, providing a fixed, natural-looking restoration that restores full chewing function and aesthetics. Key facts include that it typically requires 4–8 implants per arch and can be completed in stages over several months.

UKA is a partial knee replacement that resurfaces only the damaged compartment of the knee, typically the medial or lateral side, while preserving the healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments. The surgeon makes a smaller incision than in total knee replacement, removes the worn cartilage and a thin layer of bone, and attaches metal and plastic components to restore smooth joint movement. This targeted approach maintains more of the knee's natural structure and function.

HoLEP uses a holmium laser to precisely separate and remove obstructive prostate tissue from the capsule, similar to an open prostatectomy but through the urethra with no external incisions. A morcellator then fragments the enucleated tissue for removal. This technique is size-independent, meaning it effectively treats prostates of any volume, including those over 100 grams, where traditional TURP becomes less effective.

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal narrows, compressing the nerves and spinal cord in the lower back. This often leads to pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs, especially during walking or standing. It is most commonly caused by age-related degenerative changes, such as arthritis or disc herniation. Key facts: it affects millions worldwide, and while mild cases respond to physical therapy, severe cases may require surgical decompression.

This is a muscle-sparing approach to hip replacement that accesses the joint through the front of the hip, rather than cutting through major muscles or tendons. By working between natural tissue planes, it typically results in less postoperative pain, faster mobilization, and a lower risk of dislocation. Patients are often encouraged to walk on the same day as surgery, and the total hospital stay is usually 5 to 7 days.

This is a single-stage surgical procedure to repair a narrowed or damaged urethra. A small piece of tissue is taken from the inner cheek (buccal mucosa) and used as a graft to widen and reconstruct the urethra. The graft is carefully sutured into place, creating a durable, well-vascularized lining. The surgery typically takes 2–4 hours under general anesthesia.

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells of e.max or feldspathic porcelain bonded to the front of teeth to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment. They provide a natural, durable smile transformation with minimal tooth reduction. Each veneer is crafted in a dental laboratory to match your tooth shade and shape, offering stain resistance and longevity of 10–15 years with proper care.

An ACL tear is a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, a key stabilizer in the knee joint. It commonly occurs during sports that involve sudden stops, jumps, or changes in direction. Without surgical reconstruction, the knee may remain unstable, increasing the risk of further cartilage or meniscus damage.

PELD is a minimally invasive spine surgery performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made in the lower back, and a thin endoscope is inserted to visualize and remove herniated disc material that is compressing a nerve root. The procedure typically takes about one hour, and patients can often go home within 1–2 days.

This procedure uses a high-magnification operating microscope to identify and ligate (tie off) dilated veins in the spermatic cord through a small incision just above the penis. The microscope allows the surgeon to precisely preserve the testicular artery and lymphatic vessels, which reduces the risk of complications like testicular atrophy or hydrocele formation. It is performed under general or regional anesthesia and typically takes 1–2 hours as a day surgery or with an overnight stay.

An impacted wisdom tooth is a third molar that fails to emerge fully or in the correct position, often trapped beneath the gum and bone. This can cause pain, swelling, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. Surgical extraction is the standard treatment to prevent complications, and in China, it is performed as a same-day procedure under IV sedation for patient comfort.

Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine, often diagnosed in adolescents. It can range from mild to severe, potentially causing pain, postural imbalance, and respiratory issues if untreated. Key facts include that about 2-3% of the population is affected, and early intervention can prevent progression.

Cervical artificial disc replacement is a surgical procedure to treat degenerative disc disease in the neck. The surgeon removes the damaged disc and inserts an artificial disc implant designed to preserve motion at that spinal level. This differs from fusion, which permanently locks the vertebrae together. The implant is typically made of metal and polymer components that mimic the natural disc's flexibility, allowing for near-normal neck movement.

This procedure replaces a missing tooth with a single Straumann or Nobel Biocare implant and a custom zirconia crown. It follows a two-visit protocol: during the first visit, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. After a 3–4 month osseointegration period, during which the bone fuses with the implant, you return for the second visit to have the zirconia crown attached. Zirconia is chosen for its strength, natural translucency, and biocompatibility.

A facelift is a surgical procedure that tightens underlying facial muscles (SMAS) and removes excess skin to reduce sagging and wrinkles. A mini-lift is a less invasive version focusing on the lower face and jawline, with smaller incisions and shorter recovery. Both aim for natural-looking facial rejuvenation, typically performed under general or local anesthesia.

Male infertility refers to a man's inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It accounts for about 40–50% of all infertility cases worldwide. Key causes include low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal morphology, or blockages in the reproductive tract. Conditions like azoospermia (no sperm in ejaculate) and varicocele are common contributors.

The Minimally Invasive TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) uses a tubular retractor system to access the spine through a 2.5 cm incision. Through this small opening, the surgeon decompresses the nerve roots, removes the damaged disc, and places an interbody cage with bone graft to stabilize the segment. This technique minimizes muscle dissection and blood loss compared to traditional open surgery.

The All-on-4 technique uses four strategically placed dental implants in the jawbone to support a full-arch fixed prosthesis. Two anterior implants are placed vertically, while two posterior implants are angled to maximize bone contact and avoid anatomical structures like the sinus nerve. This allows for same-day delivery of a temporary fixed bridge, with a permanent prosthesis fitted after 3–4 months of osseointegration. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation and typically requires one surgical session.

Liposuction and body contouring are cosmetic procedures that remove stubborn fat deposits to reshape specific areas of the body. Techniques include tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted (VASER), and laser-assisted methods, often combined with autologous fat grafting for natural volume enhancement. These procedures are performed under local or general anesthesia and are not weight-loss solutions but rather body sculpting treatments for healthy individuals near their ideal weight.

This procedure uses a minimally invasive arthroscopic technique to reconstruct a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). A single-bundle graft is harvested from your own hamstring tendon and positioned anatomically to restore knee stability. The surgery is performed through small incisions, typically taking 1-2 hours under general or regional anesthesia.

Double-jaw surgery combines two osteotomies: a Le Fort I osteotomy to reposition the upper jaw (maxilla) and a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) to reposition the lower jaw (mandible). The bones are moved into their corrected positions and secured with rigid fixation using titanium plates and screws. This procedure addresses functional issues like malocclusion and sleep apnea, as well as facial asymmetry. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires a hospital stay of 7–10 days.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as two or more consecutive miscarriages before 20 weeks of gestation. It affects approximately 1–2% of couples and can be caused by genetic abnormalities, uterine structural issues, hormonal imbalances, or immune disorders like antiphospholipid syndrome. A thorough evaluation—including thrombophilia screening, parental karyotyping, and PGT-A—helps identify underlying causes and guide personalized treatment.

Posterior spinal fusion (PSF) corrects scoliosis by accessing the spine from the back. Surgeons place pedicle screws into the vertebrae and connect them with rods to straighten the curve. Bone graft is added to fuse the segments into a solid unit. This is performed under general anesthesia with intraoperative neuromonitoring to protect spinal nerves.

The All-on-6 technique places six dental implants into the jawbone to support a full-arch fixed zirconia prosthesis. After implant placement, a temporary provisional bridge is attached, allowing you to leave with functional teeth within about one week. The final zirconia prosthesis is fitted after 4–6 months of healing, once the implants have fully integrated with the bone.

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Implants may be silicone or saline, with leading brands such as Mentor, Allergan, and Motiva available in China. Autologous fat grafting is also an option for patients seeking a more natural result. The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours under general anesthesia.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by irregular periods, elevated androgen levels, and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. It is a leading cause of infertility due to anovulation. Key facts include that it affects 5-10% of women worldwide and is often associated with insulin resistance, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent long-term complications such as type 2 diabetes and endometrial cancer.

This procedure begins with ovarian stimulation using injectable hormones to produce multiple eggs, which are retrieved via a minor outpatient surgery. Each mature egg is then injected with a single sperm (ICSI) to facilitate fertilization. The resulting embryos are cultured for 5–6 days, and a few cells are biopsied for preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) to screen for chromosomal abnormalities. Only chromosomally normal embryos are selected for transfer, typically 4–6 weeks after starting treatment.

The procedure begins with a digital smile design consultation to plan the shape, size, and shade of your new veneers. During the first visit, minimal tooth preparation is performed—typically removing less than 0.5 mm of enamel—followed by digital impressions and placement of temporary veneers. In the second visit about two weeks later, the custom e.max lithium disilicate veneers are bonded to your teeth using high-strength dental adhesive. The material is highly translucent and mimics natural tooth enamel, providing a durable and aesthetic result.

Crohn's Disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation of the digestive tract, most commonly the small intestine and colon. Key facts include its relapsing-remitting nature, potential complications like strictures or fistulas, and the need for long-term management. It is an autoimmune condition with no known cure, but treatments can effectively control symptoms and maintain remission.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or pelvic lining. It affects approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age and can cause severe pain, irregular bleeding, and infertility. Key facts include that diagnosis typically requires laparoscopy, and it is a leading cause of endometriosis-associated infertility, often managed through surgical excision and hormonal therapy.

FET begins with hormonal preparation of the endometrium over approximately 2–3 weeks, using medications such as estrogen and progesterone to synchronize the uterine lining with the thawed embryo. Once the lining reaches optimal thickness and receptivity, a previously cryopreserved embryo is thawed in the lab and transferred into the uterine cavity via a thin catheter. The procedure itself is quick, typically painless, and performed on an outpatient basis. After transfer, you continue hormonal support for about 10–14 days until a pregnancy test is performed.

The procedure involves the surgical removal of all four impacted wisdom teeth in a single session under intravenous (IV) sedation. You will be in a relaxed, semi-conscious state, and a local anesthetic is also applied to ensure no pain. An oral surgeon makes small incisions in the gums, removes any bone blocking access to the teeth, and extracts the molars. The entire process typically takes 60–90 minutes, after which you recover in a monitored area before discharge the same day.

Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the colon and rectum. It typically presents with symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding, and it affects about 1 in 500 people globally. While there is no cure, treatments such as 5-ASA medications, biologics, JAK inhibitors, and surgery for refractory cases can effectively manage the condition.

Post-stroke recovery refers to the process of regaining lost neurological functions after a stroke, which can include motor skills, speech, and cognitive abilities. Key facts: recovery varies widely by individual, often involving neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize itself. Stem cell therapy, particularly combined IV and intrathecal administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), aims to enhance this natural repair process by reducing inflammation and promoting neural regeneration. This approach is typically paired with intensive neurorehabilitation to maximize functional gains.

Microsurgical TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) is a minimally invasive procedure performed under an operating microscope. A small incision is made in the scrotum to expose the testicle, and the surgeon uses high magnification to identify and extract individual seminiferous tubules most likely to contain sperm. The retrieved tissue is immediately processed in the lab to isolate viable sperm for direct use in ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) during IVF. The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours under local or general anesthesia, with a same-day or next-day discharge.

Rib cartilage rhinoplasty uses a small piece of your own rib cartilage, typically harvested from the chest, to reshape or augment the nose. The cartilage is carved to create a natural-looking bridge or tip, then implanted through precise incisions. This autologous graft minimizes rejection risk and provides durable, stable results, especially for complex revisions or patients needing significant structural support.

Chronic Hepatitis B is a long-term infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that primarily affects the liver. It can lead to serious complications such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) if left untreated. The condition is diagnosed through blood tests detecting viral antigens, antibodies, or DNA, and it affects millions worldwide, with higher prevalence in parts of Asia and Africa.

This service combines a full diagnostic evaluation for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) with one in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle incorporating preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). The workup includes blood tests, imaging, and genetic screening to identify underlying causes of miscarriage. The IVF cycle involves ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo biopsy to test for chromosomal abnormalities, allowing transfer of only euploid (chromosomally normal) embryos. The entire process typically spans 6–8 weeks as an outpatient procedure.

This procedure creates a permanent upper eyelid crease through a small incision along the intended fold line, removing excess skin or fat as needed. The epicanthoplasty modifies the inner corner of the eye (epicanthal fold) to elongate the eye shape and reduce the appearance of a flat nasal bridge. Both steps are performed under local anesthesia with sedation, typically taking 1–2 hours, and the incisions are closed with fine sutures for minimal scarring.

Knee Osteoarthritis (Cell Therapy) is a regenerative treatment that uses intra-articular injection of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) to reduce inflammation, promote cartilage repair, and alleviate pain. It is designed for patients with early-to-moderate osteoarthritis as a joint-preserving alternative to knee replacement. This therapy aims to slow disease progression and improve joint function, with clinical evidence supporting its safety and efficacy.

There are no physical risks or recovery time associated with this test, as it involves only a simple blood draw or saliva collection. The main considerations are psychological and informational: learning about a genetic predisposition to cancer can cause anxiety or stress, and results may affect family dynamics or insurance decisions. The included genetic counselling session is designed to help you understand and cope with these outcomes. No follow-up procedures or downtime are required after sample collection.

Risks are minimal due to continuous telemetry monitoring, but may include transient arrhythmias, hypotension, or musculoskeletal strain from exercise. Serious cardiac events are extremely rare in supervised settings. Recovery is ongoing: most patients notice improved endurance and reduced symptoms within 2–3 weeks. Full benefits, including better heart function and risk factor control, typically develop over the 6-week program and continue with long-term lifestyle adherence.

In China, the annual cost for recombinant growth hormone therapy typically ranges from $5,000 to $12,000 USD, depending on the child's weight and dosage. In the United States or Western Europe, the same treatment can cost $20,000 to $50,000 USD per year. These savings apply to both the medication and associated medical consultations and monitoring.

Common acute side effects include oral mucositis (painful mouth sores), xerostomia (dry mouth), dysphagia, fatigue, and cisplatin-related nausea, hearing loss, or kidney impairment. These are managed with supportive care such as pain medication, nutritional support, and hydration. Late effects may include fibrosis, trismus, or hypothyroidism. Recovery typically takes 4–6 weeks after the last radiation fraction, during which mucositis and fatigue gradually improve. Long-term follow-up is essential to monitor for recurrence and late toxicities.

Common risks include pneumothorax (lung collapse, occurring in up to 20% of cases), valve migration or expectoration, and exacerbation of COPD. Serious but rare complications include hemoptysis or empyema. Recovery involves a 5–7 day hospital stay for monitoring, followed by 4–6 weeks of gradual activity increase. Most patients notice improved breathing and exercise tolerance within weeks, though full benefit may take 3 months. Follow-up includes chest X-ray and pulmonary function tests.

You will need follow-up imaging and regular monitoring to ensure no recurrence.

Common risks include transient headache, back pain, or mild fever following lumbar puncture, which usually resolve within 24–48 hours. Serious complications such as infection, allergic reaction, or neurological injury are rare but possible. Recovery is ongoing; most patients experience no downtime beyond the day of injection and can resume daily activities the next day. Functional improvements, if any, may take weeks to months to become noticeable, and the goal is to slow disease progression rather than cure ALS.

Risks include bleeding, infection, arrhythmias, coronary artery issues, and rarely, need for reoperation. Recovery involves a hospital stay of 21–30 days, with the first week in intensive care. Full recovery at home takes 2–3 months, during which the infant will need regular follow-up with a pediatric cardiologist. Most children grow and develop normally after successful surgery.

Common side effects include post-embolization syndrome—fever, abdominal pain, nausea, and fatigue—which typically resolves within a few days. More serious but less common risks include liver abscess, bile duct injury, hepatic failure, or non-target embolization. Recovery usually involves a hospital stay of 3–4 days for monitoring, followed by 1–2 weeks of rest at home. Most patients can resume normal activities within two weeks, though fatigue may persist. Regular follow-up imaging is required to assess tumor response.

Risks include infusion-related reactions (e.g., fever, chills, or headache), which are typically mild and managed with premedication. Rarely, infection, allergic reaction, or transient worsening of lupus symptoms may occur. Long-term risks are still under study, but no significant adverse events have been reported in short-term follow-ups. Recovery is ongoing, with most patients resuming normal activities immediately after each infusion. Clinical improvement in symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and skin lesions may take weeks to months, and multiple cycles are sometimes needed for sustained benefit.

Most patients resume normal activities within 2–3 months, with close follow-up for cancer surveillance.

Risks are low but may include temporary corneal haze, dry eye, light sensitivity, and rarely infection or sterile infiltrates. Recovery typically involves 1–2 weeks of mild discomfort, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days. Vision may be blurry initially, stabilizing over 3–6 months as the cornea remodels. Strict adherence to postoperative eye drops and follow-up visits is crucial for optimal healing.

Risks are generally low but may include mild infusion-related reactions such as fever or headache, and rare infection or allergic response. Recovery is an ongoing process: patients typically notice gradual improvements in function over weeks to months post-programme, with continued gains possible for up to a year as stem cells integrate and neuroplasticity is enhanced. The 4-week intensive rehabilitation phase requires active participation, and long-term home-based exercises are recommended to sustain progress.

Common risks include temporary urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, bleeding, infection, or injury to surrounding structures (e.g., rectum). Most patients regain continence within weeks to months, and nerve-sparing techniques improve erectile function recovery. Full recovery takes 4–6 weeks, with restrictions on heavy lifting and driving. You will have a urinary catheter for about 7–10 days and follow-up with PSA monitoring to track cancer control.

Common risks include temporary blurred vision, eye discomfort, subconjunctival hemorrhage, and floaters, which typically resolve within days. Serious but rare complications include endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, or increased intraocular pressure. Recovery involves minimal downtime; patients can resume normal activities the same day but should avoid strenuous exercise and eye rubbing. Follow-up visits are scheduled monthly to monitor response and adjust treatment.

The CCTA involves a low dose of radiation and an IV contrast dye, which carries a small risk of allergic reaction or kidney strain; the stress test may cause temporary breathlessness or chest discomfort, but is medically supervised. Recovery is minimal—you can resume normal activities immediately after the tests. The same-day report allows you to discuss results with the cardiologist before leaving, with no downtime required.

In Western countries, strabismus surgery typically costs between $5,000 and $15,000 per eye, depending on complexity and location.
