Caring Beyond the Operating Room
Over the years, our team has carefully reviewed the outcomes of patients who underwent Atresia repair surgery. During these discussions, we discovered that nearly 10% of our Atresia repair cases were revision surgeries. Among those revision cases, most of the patients shared a common challenge: The surgeon has absolutly no communication with local physicians. Local physicans often did not have enough information about the patient’s original surgery, surgical anatomy, or post-operative condition.
This experience made us realize that successful Atresia treatment does not end with surgery alone. To provide patients with the long-term care, communication, and specialized follow-up they deserve, we established a clinic in China - bringing expert care closer to home while building a stronger local support network for patients and physicians alike.
All things you need to know before the surgery
At least 6 years old
As a policy, I only perform surgery on patients who have reached a certain age, typically around six years old. The primary reason for this is that children at this age are generally able to understand instructions and communicate effectively. While parents are usually present to support the patient, it is important that the child is also aware, especially during the recovery period, to ensure they can follow necessary post-surgical guidelines and instructions for their well-being.
CT scan and Puretone hearing test
When you provide the CT scan and hearing test report, please ensure that all tests were conducted within the last 6 months. The CT scan should be done when the patient is over 4 years old, and each slice must be less than 1mm.
Evaluation
"I only perform surgery on patients who score 7 or above in the evaluation. While anatomy doesn’t change significantly as children grow older, CT scan scores can vary over time, especially if taken years apart.".
Conmmunication
It is very important for me to communicate with my patients themselves, especially during the meeting, I believe the understanding of my patients effect the outcomes of the surgery directly. Please don’t be hacitate to ask questions about the surgery and treatment. You make the decision, not me. My responsibility is to knowladge you with full understanding of my acdamic views.
