Where China Leads · 30 Conditions & Procedures

Why People Fly to China — by Condition

Eight specialties, thirty conditions where China is now the world's most concentrated experience pool, the largest-volume center, or the technique's birthplace. Each card gives one reason and one data point — no hospital name, because the strength comes from the country as a whole, not any single site.

八个专科，三十个治疗方向 —— 全球经验最集中、规模最大、或术式发源地的领域。每张卡只讲「为什么是中国」和「一个数据点」；医院名不出现，因为实力来自整个国家，不是某一家。

Elective Care · Where Choice Matters

Conditions Worth Travelling to China For

Some conditions can be planned, not rushed — and that is exactly when choice matters most. In these procedures China combines the world's largest surgical volume, techniques that are not yet routine elsewhere, and a fraction of Western cost. Each one is arranged end to end, and each has a short film beside it.

可择期治疗的疾病——不必仓促决定，才更该挑最好的方案。以下三类手术，中国以全球最大手术量、领先术式与更低费用，把选择权交回给你；全程由我们安排，每类术式配一段短片。
Film · 0:493 cm is the whole incision. Single-port thoracoscopic segmentectomy — about twenty minutes at the operating table, then back to normal life.
01 · Early Lung Cancer

Complex Anatomical Segmentectomy & Subsegmentectomy

复杂解剖性肺段 / 亚肺段切除

Best for: multiple ground-glass nodules and early-stage lung cancer — where the goal is curative resection and keeping the lung you have.

3 cm single port3–5 day stay1–3 mo back to work

Nodules that elsewhere are removed across separate operations are often cleared in one thoracoscopic sitting — 3D-CTBA mapping plans every segment before the first cut, so more lung is spared.

Ask About This Procedure
Film · 1:22"Inoperable" is often a verdict on the incision, not the tumour. A 72-year-old patient from Mongolia, reconstructed through a single port at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University.
02 · Central Lung Cancer

Uniportal Double Sleeve Resection

单孔支气管 + 肺动脉双袖式成形切除

Best for: central tumours involving the bronchus and/or the pulmonary artery — the cases that elsewhere usually end in removal of the whole lung.

3–4 cm single portLung preserved60–80% function

The difference is one of access: where many centres still open a 20–30 cm chest and take the whole lung, Chinese teams perform the sleeve reconstruction through a keyhole.

Ask About This Procedure
Film · 0:47Myasthenia gravis and thymoma — subxiphoid thoracoscopic thymectomy. Discharge within 24–48 hours; in published series about 70% of MG patients reduce or stop medication.
03 · Thymoma / MG

Subxiphoid Extended Thymectomy

剑突下胸腺扩大切除

Best for: thymoma and generalised myasthenia gravis — including AChR-antibody-positive MG with no detectable tumour.

No chest incisionNerves untouched24 h discharge

No rib spreading and no port between the ribs — the intercostal nerves are never divided, which is why published comparisons show less pain and faster recovery.
