A delegation from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital travelled to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan under the Belt and Road framework. Experts delivered live minimally‑in‑surgery demonstrations, keynote lectures and signed MOU for long‑term medical‑education & clinical collaboration. From complex renal‑tumour resection to high‑risk coronary‑intervention, Chinese‑medical expertise benefits Central‑Asian patients, advancing the “Health Silk Road” and building a Global Community of Health for Al

Struggling with benign prostatic hyperplasia? Elderly patients with multiple underlying conditions may not qualify for traditional prostate surgery. Transurethral prostatic water balloon dilation, a quick minimally invasive procedure, can relieve bladder outlet obstruction safely. An 89-year-old patient with heart and lung issues regained normal urination after a 20-minute operation. Early screening is vital for urinary health in seniors.

Suffering from ureteral stricture that causes hydronephrosis, repeated infections and kidney damage? A new minimally invasive option — ureteral balloon dilatation with metallic covered stent implantation — has helped one patient at Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital achieve relief. Boasting stronger support and better biocompatibility, this technique avoids repeated stent replacements and eases urinary discomfort for those with complex strictures.

Ureteral stricture, recurrent urinary tract infection after ureteral stent placement, multi‑antibiotic resistance, combined kidney stones and hydronephrosis — these complicated co‑existing conditions signal hidden risks within the urinary system. Recently, the Urology Department team led by Director Ge Jingping at Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital, successfully drained pus and removed stones for a patient with complex urinary tract infection by pplying intelligent pressure‑

Recently, the Urology Department team at Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School, overcame this clinical hurdle and successfully performed robotic-assisted laparoscopic renal tumor enucleation on two patients. The surgery achieved complete tumor resection while optimally preserving patients’ renal function, marking a new milestone in minimally invasive nephron-sparing surgery at our hospital.

Recently, the Department of Urology at Taikang Xianlin Gulou Hospital, Affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School, successfully performed a urethral memory metal prostate stent implantation for 97-year-old Mr. Sun, a resident of Taikang Zhijia Huiyuan with severe benign prostatic hyperplasia complicated by urinary retention. Right after the surgery, Mr. Sun regained spontaneous urination and no longer needed an indwelling urinary catheter.

Frequent nighttime urination, weak urine flow, and a feeling of incomplete emptying are common issues among middle-aged and older men, often linked to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This age-related condition affects quality of life but is manageable with lifestyle adjustments, medication, or minimally invasive surgery. If you experience persistent urinary discomfort, avoid self-diagnosis. Seek professional urological examination for timely and appropriate care.

A Malaysian patient Hana flew over 3,000km from Kuala Lumpur to Xi’an for thyroid cancer surgery at Hygeia Chang’an Hospital. Professor Liu’s team removed her tumor with minimal blood loss under 10ml while protecting nerve functions. Cross-department MDT experts customized long-term recovery plans. Full one-stop international care and warm nursing made her overseas treatment a wonderful experience.

Single-port laparoscopic gallbladder and appendix surgery only requires a 1–2cm hidden cut around the navel with nearly invisible scars. It brings mild pain, fast gastrointestinal recovery and discharge within 1–2 days, with low complication risks. Ideal for appearance-focused patients without severe abdominal adhesions. Proper diet and light activity help smooth postoperative recovery.
