Remote surgical review · revision · complex repair · escalation

Dr. Shaoliang Wang is Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital, and the named clinical contact for international patients. He previously served as deputy chief of plastic and aesthetic surgery at Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University, and brings more than two decades of tertiary-hospital surgical experience to his practice.

For someone considering a journey to Chongqing, he is the person who reads the records and imaging you send, gives the surgical opinion on whether the problem is one this centre treats and whether travelling is justified, and states plainly when it is not. After you return home he is the escalation point: the surgeon who knows what was done, and who can advise on what needs to happen next when a local clinician is examining you. Twenty years of tertiary-hospital surgery inform every opinion he gives, including the ones that decline to operate.

A hospital-based advantage

When a treatment from elsewhere needs correction, or a complication needs theatre-level care, the operating room, anaesthesiology and intensive care are already in the same building. Practising inside a tertiary general hospital means that backstop is real rather than theoretical — and it is the reason a revision can be discussed here at all.
