Hand surgery · congenital limb differences · tendon, nerve and scar reconstruction

Dr. Shaoliang Wang is Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and the lead physician of this hand surgery service. He previously served as Deputy Chief of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery at Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University, and brings more than two decades of tertiary-hospital surgical experience to his practice. He uses he and him pronouns.

His practice covers the problems this site is built around: congenital hand differences in children, tendon and nerve injuries, thumb and soft-tissue reconstruction after trauma, and the scar and contracture problems that limit a hand long after the original wound has healed. Two decades of tertiary-hospital surgery inform every opinion he gives, including the ones about what cannot be restored.

A hospital-based advantage

Hand surgery depends on structures that cannot be seen from the outside. When an operation needs microsurgical monitoring, imaging, pathology or intensive-care backup, those resources are already in the same building. Practicing inside a tertiary general hospital means that backstop is real, not theoretical.
