successfully performed a pneumomediastinum-assisted mediastinoscopy combined with laparoscopic radical esophagectomy on a 67-year-old patient——with no incisions on the chest. Postoperatively, the patient experienced minimal chest pain, was able to ambulate on the following day, and demonstrated rapid recovery. This innovative, minimally invasive procedure is performed through small incisions in the neck and abdomen, leaving the chest completely free of any surgical incisions. It completely avoids injury to the ribs and intercostal nerves associated with conventional thoracic surgery. Moreover, as the procedure avoids entry into the thoracic cavity and eliminates the need for single-lung ventilation, it markedly reduces interference with cardiopulmonary function. This approach provides a valuable curative option for elderly patients or those with compromised .

The team led by Prof. Wang Jianan at successfully completed the first implantation of ™ system, an implantable device integrating both treatment and . The device was precisely implanted in a 61-year-old male patient diagnosed with chronic heart failure. By the second postoperative day, the patient had recovered well, with marked improvement in chest tightness and dyspnoea. The system’s unique advantage lies in delivering a full continuum of care—including heart failure treatment, postoperative assessment, and long-term monitoring—through a single procedure. Its low reverse shunt design ensures therapeutic efficacy while significantly enhancing safety. This technology offers a revolutionary end-to-end solution for patients with chronic heart failure worldwide.

Recently, successfully performed a personalized Percutaneous Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy on a Chinese- patient, resulting in immediate symptom relief and preserved cervical mobility. To achieve better treatment outcomes, Mr. Wang came to for care during the Chinese New Year holiday. After admission, the team quickly completed a comprehensive evaluation and confirmed a diagnosis of Brown-Séquard syndrome.
