Having young children in Sichuan, and not being able to access your trusted doctors back home can be a real worry, especially as our little ones often pick up ear infections or worse.

However in the last decade in Chengdu, world-class facilities have opened in the city – with amazing cases like this reminding us how world-class medical care here has become.

• Recently, an 11-year-old girl had sharp pain around her eyes and ears for months. Treatments for ear infections did nothing to ease her symptoms.

• Dr. Yuan Yuqing’s neurosurgery team at Sichuan Taikang Hospital found she had a rare nerve condition. They carried out a small, precise surgery to fix the issue, and the girl has recovered fully and gone home.

• Sichuan Taikang Hospital provides multilingual, customized premium medical services. It removes language barriers and offers reliable surgical support for international patients.

Recently, a medical team led by Director Yuan Yuqing from the Department of Neurosurgery at Sichuan Taikang Hospital completed microscopic microvascular decompression on an 11-year-old girl suffering from rare migratory glossopharyngeal neuralgia, permanently eliminating her excruciating long-term pain. The patient has now recovered and been discharged from the hospital.

Tracking Migratory Pain Patterns to Deliver Targeted Surgery

The 11-year-old girl suffered from sudden, stabbing pain in her inner ears and eye sockets for more than three months. The discomfort flared unpredictably across four areas: both eye sockets and inner ears, often keeping her awake all night. Local hospitals treated her repeatedly for otitis media with no relief. After researching specialist care, her family brought her to Sichuan Taikang Hospital for inpatient treatment.

Upon admission, Director Yuan created a pain log for the child. After five days of recording pain timing and locations, he diagnosed rare migratory glossopharyngeal neuralgia, identifying the left side as the primary pain source. The team opted for left-sided microvascular decompression to resolve the core issue first.

The surgery proceeded smoothly with full coordination from the anesthesiology team. Doctors made a tiny bone window behind the child’s ear and used a surgical microscope to examine the left glossopharyngeal nerve. Multiple tiny blood vessels wrapped tightly around the nerve, bound down by thickened milky arachnoid membrane, creating severe compression.

With precise microsurgical techniques, Director Yuan’s team carefully cut and released the fibrous membrane layer by layer, fully separating the abnormal blood vessels and arachnoid tissue from the trapped nerve. This fully relieved nerve compression while minimizing surgical trauma. Unlike standard microvascular decompression (MVD), which typically implants padding between nerves and vessels, this procedure focused on releasing tethering caused by abnormal arachnoid fibrosis.

The child experienced zero pain episodes after surgery. The team asked her family to continue documenting pain logs for three months post-discharge to collect clinical data for research on this rare pediatric disorder.

This operation demands masterful mastery of posterior fossa microanatomy and advanced microsurgical skills. Sichuan Taikang Hospital’s Neurosurgery department routinely performs microvascular decompression to treat functional cranial nerve disorders including trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm and glossopharyngeal neuralgia.

The department is equipped with high-end surgical microscopes and neuroelectrophysiological monitoring systems to deliver top-tier care for cranial nerve patients nationwide.

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia mostly affects middle-aged and elderly adults; childhood cases are extremely uncommon. Typical symptoms include paroxysmal sharp pain in the tongue root, throat, tonsils, ear roots and lower jaw. Cases featuring primary pain in the inner ears and eye sockets, like this girl’s, are exceptionally rare.

While headaches, toothaches, throat and ear pain are common daily complaints, recurring persistent discomfort requires medical attention. Director Yuan urges anyone with repeated pain in the head, face, teeth or around the ears to undergo screening for cranial nerve diseases for early diagnosis and treatment.

• We’ve recently found a fantastic hidden spot in Chengdu serving great-value smoothies, mocktails and cocktails. Tucked away in Yulin – one of Chengdu’s coolest neighbourhoods – this hidden gem blends two distinct vibes into one space: wholesome fresh smoothies by day, and refined craft cocktails after dark.

By night, the space transforms with warm, low lighting, serving a curated selection of premium craft cocktails. An extra plus: the shop’s welcoming owner Miles speaks English.

Safe & Worry-Free Eye Treatment in Chengdu

Did you know nearly 3 in 5 people rely on glasses or contact lenses? For many expats, vision correction can often feel intimidating or overpriced — but not at AIER Sichuan Eye Hospital.

As part of the global AIER Eye Hospital Group with over 1,000 centers across Asia, Europe and the United States, we bring internationally recognized eye care expertise straight to Chengdu Hi-Tech Zone.

Why Expats Choose AIER Sichuan Eye Hospital?

AIER’s Refractive Surgeries:

Tailored Solutions for Clear Vision

1) LASIK

The blade-free LASIK ensures superior safety and precision during corneal flap creation. Every procedure is fully customized, capable of correcting up to 10 diopters of myopia and 5 diopters of astigmatism.

2) SMILE 

(Small Incision Lenticule Extraction)

SMILE procedure uses Femtosecond laser, a Nobel-prized technology that allows as tiny as 2-4mm surgical incision and does not involve corneal flap creation, thus carries no risk of flap dislocation, making it suitable for athletes, military personnel, and others in contact or physically demanding professions. The procedure is straightforward, requiring relatively less patient cooperation.

3) 3D Ray-tracing Optimized Lasik

This groundbreaking myopia correction technology with full-eye-analysis captures ultra-precise corneal data to design bespoke treatment plans. With carving accuracy down to 0.01 diopters, it effectively reduces residual astigmatism. Most patients regain clear vision the next day and can quickly return to work and daily life.

4) ICL Implantation

ICL implantation preserves your natural eye lens. It corrects broad range of myopia (0.5- 18 diopters), astigmatism within 6 diopters, and is the ideal choice for people who wish to remove glasses but want their corneas remain untouched. The surgery is reversible and requires no corneal cutting, keeping your eye’s original structure intact. Globally, one ICL implant is performed every 4 minutes.

5) IOL Exchange

This treatment removes the eye’s natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens. It is mainly recommended for people aged 45 and above, those with loss of lens flexibility, high refractive errors, and anyone looking to get rid of glasses permanently.

If you have any problem as mentioned above, you are suggested to do a professional eye health examination to protect your eyes ASAP.

• The cause of 1 in 8 Deaths worldwide is due to high blood pressure – or hypertension as doctors often refer to it. It is a very common medical condition which can often go undiagnosed. Globally, it’s the leading known cause of premature death through stroke, heart disease and chronic kidney disease.
• It’s often termed a ‘silent killer’ due to its subtle symptoms yet severe impact on health if left unmanaged. In many countries, men are found to have higher blood pressure than women, putting them at greater risk of cardiovascular disease.
• BUT it can be managed and prevented! Learn more in this article

Hypertension: Causes, symptoms and prevention

What is Hypertension?

Hypertension occurs when the blood pressure in the arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is recorded as two figures: systolic pressure (pressure when the heart beats) and diastolic pressure (pressure when the heart rests between beats).

Causes and Risk Factors

Several factors contribute to high blood pressure, including genetics, age, lifestyle choices, and certain medical conditions. Key risk factors include obesity, smoking, excessive alcohol intake, stress, and a high-salt diet.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

Hypertension often goes unnoticed as it may not present obvious symptoms. Routine checks are vital for early detection. When symptoms do occur, they can include headaches, shortness of breath, and nosebleeds.

Prevention and Awareness

Preventative measures include maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol consumption, quitting smoking, and regular health screenings.

Management and Treatment

Managing hypertension involves lifestyle changes, medication, or a combination of both. Healthy eating, regular exercise, and stress reduction are crucial. In some cases, antihypertensive medications are prescribed.

Regular health screenings

Chengdu BOE Hospital (成都东京方医院) is the city’s largest international hospital – and have specialists who run high blood pressure screenings, treatments and preventative medicine – to keep you from becoming a hypertension risk.

The hospital is a real asset, especially for international patients who are unsure where to receive high-quality and trustworthy international standards of medical treatment.

The post Chengdu Dental Clinics with English Services appeared first on Chengdu Expat.

We often resort to screenshots of the style we want or shots from a few angles of our last good cut in order to communicate our desired effect to the hairstylist. 

People have been known to scope out good places by watching the stylist work and their results for a bit before committing. Asking the stylist for photos of their work can also be a good way to judge someone’s handiwork (or have a little scroll on their WeChat profile). 

We are pretty fortunate that fashion-conscious Chengdu has a wealth of options at many price ranges, from neighbourhood spots where the basic xi-jian–chui (wash, cut, dry) service runs 20-50RMB to luxury salons that charge several hundred yuan per visit. 

Appointments at neighbourhood spots are usually not taken as customers are cared for on a first-come-first-served basis, so it pays to time visits to a popular salon during off hours. Higher-end salons usually have a sliding scale where services by less experienced stylists come at a bargain and the most experienced stylists come at a premium.  

You can also expect dye or perm services to cost quite a bit more than the basic cut. Several salons offer memberships or cards that can shave a good percentage off your bill; if you find a good place that you intend to visit regularly, this is usually well worth it. 

Below are a few good places in town to get you started

• Chengdu BOE Hospital has recently brought in the industry-leading ROSA orthopedic robotic system, performing its first ultra-precise robotic knee replacement surgery in early March 2026.

• Boasting exceptional precision and image-less, real-time optical navigation, minimally invasive incisions and built-in safety safeguards, it slashes surgical risk and enables patients to walk independently within 24 hours post-operation. Something never possible before.

• We wanted to share this story with you, as it’s proof of concept that Chengdu BOE are becoming world leading at surgeries enabled by cutting-edge technology, and patients can now access these cutting-edge treatments, without leaving the city.

BOE ROSA Robot: Cutting edge new technology for incredible results

Zimmer Biomet’s ROSA orthopedic robot is a leader in the “era of robotic precision” for orthopedic surgery. It supports a full scope of procedures including knee, hip, shoulder, and spine surgeries, has earned authoritative certifications such as US FDA approval, and is widely used in medical institutions around the world.

In total knee replacement, the ROSA robot offers notable advantages: exceptional surgical accuracy, optimized mechanical axis alignment for patients, and personalized prosthesis implantation tailored to individual anatomy. Globally clinically validated, it is more accurate, safe, and reproducible than traditional surgery, delivering more stable treatment outcomes.

Chengdu BOE Hospital has introduced the ROSA orthopedic robot, marking its official entry into the “intelligent orthopedics” era. This upgrade strengthens the hospital’s ability to manage complex orthopedic cases and drives the orthopedics department toward greater precision and intelligence.

The main indications for ROSA robotic surgery include end‑stage osteoarthritis, inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, post‑traumatic arthritis, and severe knee deformities. Importantly, ROSA robotic surgery is covered by commercial insurance, helping reduce the financial burden for patients accessing advanced care.

In short, the next‑generation ROSA robotic system significantly lowers surgical risks and enables patients to ambulate independently within 24 hours post‑operatively.

This state‑of‑the‑art orthopedic technology is now available to all patients at Chengdu BOE Hospital.

The post Next-Gen ROSA Robot Upgrades Surgeries in Chengdu appeared first on Chengdu Expat.

We’d like to share real stories from Taikang’s international patients to showcase the high-quality, easily accessible healthcare available in southwest China. This region has truly developed into a world-class medical hub—where treatments we once had to travel back home for are now available right here in the city we call home.

Sichuan Taikang Hospital’s international medical services have multilingual consultations, personalized treatment plans, and support for complex surgeries, that help break down communication barriers and meet the diverse needs of patients from abroad. The result is a smooth experience that puts patient health and dignity first. So far, more than 300 international patients from 25 countries, including the UK, USA, Spain, Russia and Brazil, have been treated here. Below are a few real cases that highlight the hospital’s cross-border capabilities:

Life-Saving Spinal Surgery for a Russian Patient

Mr. Ivan (pseudonym) developed atlanto-occipital junction malformation and extensive syringomyelia secondary to a lumbar fracture at the age of 14, resulting in limb disability and severe intractable pain. He was referred to Sichuan Taikang Hospital and flew to our institution from Russia for further medical management.A multidisciplinary team (MDT) of neurosurgery, anesthesiology and critical care specialists collaborated to formulate a personalized treatment plan. Under the leadership of Dr. Yuan Yuqing, the team successfully performed a complex six-hour surgical procedure. Postoperatively,Mr. Ivan experienced a marked improvement in limb muscle strength and complete resolution of pain, he later presented a handwritten thank-you letter in Russian, praising Dr. Yuan as “an angel on earth”.

Seamless Care for a British Patient with Severe Obesity 51-year-old

Jack (pseudonym) endured chronic back pain and sought medical treatment at the hospital. Weighing over 136kg with hypertension, he was at a high risk of anesthesia and surgical complications. The hospital activated a green channel, forming an MDT to perform intervertebral foramen decompression. The nursing team provided one-on-one care, ensuring smooth communication and recovery. Jack was discharged satisfied, highly praising the efficient and high-quality service.

Minimally Invasive Surgery Ends a British Teacher’s 5-Year Cervical Pain

Tom (pseudonym), a British educator in China, suffered from cervical disc herniation for 5 years, with conservative treatments failing to relieve his symptoms. Recommended by a friend, he consulted Professor Li Kainan, Director of Orthopedics, who recommended minimally invasive laser disc vaporization surgery. Postoperatively, Tom’s neck pain and headaches disappeared immediately, and he regained free neck movement, expressing deep gratitude to the team.

Varicose Veins Cure for a Foreign Basketball Coach

Mr. B, a 37-year-old foreign basketball coach, suffered from severe varicose veins for 20 years. After learning about the hospital’s professional team, he flew to Chengdu for treatment. With one-on-one multilingual accompaniment, Chief Physician Zu Cun performed bilateral high ligation and stripping of the great saphenous veins. Mr. B could walk independently the next day and was discharged successfully three days later, free from long-term discomfort.

Convenient Care for Chengdu’s  International Community

Built on international standards and Taikang’s global healthcare network, we eliminate common pain points first: No endless queues, a multilingual team (US, Singapore, Japan, Saudi Arabia professionals) fluent in English, Arabic, Japanese, and more to avoid language gaps.

A dedicated medical concierge stays with you from booking a same-day general practioner’s appointment to coordinating after-hours urgent care for minor illnesses—so you never feel adrift.
