Expertise

Specializes in the prevention and treatment of cholelithiasis, with a focus on gallbladder-preserving therapies. He has extensive experience in laparoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy, polypectomy, and cholecystectomy. To date, he has performed nearly 60,000 laparoscopic gallbladder surgeries and over 70,000 total gallbladder procedures. As one of China’s earliest pioneers in minimally invasive gallbladder-preserving research and practice, he has advanced rational gallbladder-preserving treatment. Under his leadership, the Gallstone Center at Shanghai East Hospital has ranked first in Shanghai for laparoscopic gallbladder procedures in a single disease category for 12 consecutive years.

Professional Background

Disease: Pediatric Congenital Scoliosis Description of Condition:
My child is six and a half years old, suffering from congenital hemivertebra at T10, with a scoliosis curvature of 25 degrees. Doctors in our hometown all recommended surgical treatment as soon as possible. We felt deeply distressed due to the child’s young age. Later, through a friend’s recommendation, we learned that Dr. Yang is a national expert in pediatric scoliosis. With a hopeful attitude, we came to Shanghai Xinhua Hospital.

Treatment Process:

First, we went to Dr. Yang’s assistant to check the quality of the imaging scans, confirming that re-scanning was unnecessary. Afterwards, we waited for Dr. Yang’s consultation. During this time, we encountered children from all over the country who had sought him out based on his reputation for scoliosis issues. It was 6:30 PM when it was finally our turn. Dr. Yang had already been consulting continuously for five hours. Yet, he patiently analyzed the child’s condition, earnestly answered our questions, determined that surgery was not necessary for the child, and taught the child postoperative rehabilitation exercises. The concept of “a healer’s benevolent heart” was embodied in this moment. We were deeply moved. Thank you, Dr. Yang!

Disease:
Scoliosis

Treatment Process:

I am the child’s mother. When I first learned that my child had 44-degree scoliosis, my world instantly collapsed. This degree essentially met the surgical indication, potentially requiring surgery. At that time, I felt utterly helpless, and my daughter cried in fear right there in the consultation room. Anxiety and dread shadowed us during those days. As a parent, I blamed myself for not noticing the abnormality earlier and feared the condition might cause irreversible harm to my child; my heart was filled with pain. Fortunately, after much searching, we found Director Yang Junlin. At the first consultation, he inquired in detail about the child’s situation, meticulously reviewed every test report, explained the condition clearly and simply to us, and after a series of assessments, developed a customized treatment plan of “brace combined with physical therapy” for my child.

Recovery Situation:
The treatment process with brace and physical therapy was long and arduous. The child worked very hard and took it seriously. Every follow-up visit, every adjustment to the treatment plan – this year of treatment witnessed the child’s tears, my heartache as a mother, and Director Yang’s encouragement and affirmation. My daughter’s curvature decreased from the initial 44 degrees to 20 degrees. This is not merely a numerical change; it is the joy of the child regaining a healthy life. Director Yang, you are an angel in our child’s life. Thank you, Director Yang!

Disease:
Scoliosis
Description of Condition:

I am an SMA patient. Due to severe scoliosis compressing the heart and lungs, I experienced breathing difficulties and numbness on the left side of my body. For many years, I was unable to sit and could only lie down.

Treatment Process:

We learned about Director Yang from fellow patients and multimedia platforms, so we traveled from Shanxi to Shanghai to seek his help. After various preoperative examinations and discussions, as parents, we felt deeply conflicted. Such a major surgery carried significant risks, yet the doctors were taking these risks alongside our child. We had to proceed resolutely. When the surgery concluded, Director Yang emerged and announced its success. Seeing the look of exhaustion on his face, our hearts overflowed with gratitude. We thank the doctors for their superb surgical skills and their benevolent hearts! Your hard work and dedication have given our child a healthy life!

Recovery Status:

Postoperatively, the correction degree exceeded our expectations. Our child can now sit up and see the world from a seated position, bringing a fundamental change to daily life. Pulmonary function has also greatly improved.

Disease:
Scoliosis

Description of Condition:

SMA onset at one year old. Initially able to walk with support but unable to walk independently. Condition worsened over time, leading to wheelchair use. Due to muscle atrophy, the upper body lacked support, followed by progressive scoliosis exceeding 180 degrees with prominent dorsal convexity.

Treatment Process:

Professor Yang is approachable and kind. With professional expertise in spinal medicine, he meticulously identified physical issues, demonstrating patience and clear communication!

Recovery Situation:

One-month post-surgery, independent wheelchair sitting duration reaches 6 hours. Self-feeding ability restored. Gradual recovery ongoing…

Disease:

Adult Scoliosis

Description of Condition:

Conservative treatment for adult scoliosis.

Treatment Process:
Smooth and efficient. Recovery Situation: I am 38 years old with a thoracic curve of 38 degrees and lumbar curve of 42 degrees. Unwilling to undergo surgery, I sought Professor Yang’s consultation. I am now wearing a brace. Though uncomfortable, I wish to attempt this approach to see if surgery can be avoided. This surgery is a lifelong commitment and a major operation. Thank you, Professor Yang, for being willing to provide me with an opportunity for conservative treatment.
