Who Is Dr. Qin Huanlong?
Dr. Qin Huanlong (秦环龙) is a distinguished colorectal surgeon and intestinal microbiome medicine specialist at Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University, Shanghai, and one of China's foremost experts in colorectal cancer surgery and inflammatory bowel disease. Internationally recognized for his dual expertise in advanced colorectal surgical technique and the emerging field of intestinal microbiome medicine — including fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) — Dr. Qin leads one of China's most innovative colorectal surgery programs. His unique combination of surgical and microbiome expertise makes him particularly valuable for patients with complex IBD requiring surgical management, and for patients with colorectal cancer who want access to the latest research on the gut microbiome's role in cancer treatment response. Changhai Hospital's colorectal surgery program complements the expertise of Dr. Qin Xinyu at Zhongshan Hospital, giving CMCS patients access to elite colorectal surgeons across Shanghai's top institutions.

Dr. Qin Huanlong specializes in the surgical and multidisciplinary management of colorectal and intestinal conditions, including:
- Colorectal cancer — laparoscopic and robotic colectomy, total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) requiring surgery: Crohn's disease (bowel resection, strictureplasty) and ulcerative colitis (total colectomy, ileal pouch-anal anastomosis / J-pouch)
- Hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes: familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Lynch syndrome
- Recurrent and locally advanced colorectal cancer

Why International Patients Choose Dr. Qin
International patients seek Dr. Qin Huanlong for his exceptional surgical expertise in colorectal cancer and IBD surgery, and his pioneering work in intestinal microbiome medicine — a field that is increasingly recognized as central to colorectal cancer prevention, treatment response, and post-operative recovery. For patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who have failed medical therapy and require surgical management, Dr. Qin's experience with complex IBD surgery — including J-pouch construction and redo IBD surgery — provides options that many centers cannot offer. For patients with colorectal cancer who want access to the latest microbiome-based approaches to optimize their treatment response and recovery, his research-active department at Changhai Hospital offers a level of innovation that is rare globally.
