Who Is Dr. Liao Zhuan?
Dr. Liao Zhuan (廖专) is one of China's foremost experts in pancreatic disease and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) at Changhai Hospital, affiliated with the Naval Medical University (Second Military Medical University), Shanghai. Internationally recognized for his expertise in EUS-guided diagnosis and intervention, ERCP, and the comprehensive endoscopic management of pancreatic diseases, Dr. Liao has dedicated his career to advancing minimally invasive endoscopic approaches for conditions that previously required open surgery. Changhai Hospital's Digestive Endoscopy Center is one of the highest-volume and most technically advanced endoscopy centers in China, and Dr. Liao's team handles some of the most complex pancreatic and biliary cases in the country.
What Procedures Does He Specialize In?
Dr. Liao Zhuan specializes in advanced diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures, with particular expertise in:
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for pancreatic, biliary, and GI lesion diagnosis and staging
- EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and biopsy for tissue diagnosis
- EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts and walled-off necrosis
- ERCP for bile duct stones, biliary strictures, and pancreatic duct disorders
- Endoscopic management of chronic pancreatitis (pancreatic duct stenting, stone removal)
- EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis for pancreatic cancer pain management
- Endoscopic diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer and ampullary tumors
- Capsule endoscopy and double-balloon enteroscopy for small bowel evaluation
Why International Patients Choose Dr. Liao
International patients seek Dr. Liao Zhuan because EUS and ERCP are highly operator-dependent procedures — outcomes are directly tied to the skill and experience of the endoscopist. For patients who need accurate tissue diagnosis of a pancreatic mass, drainage of a pancreatic pseudocyst, or ERCP for complex biliary or pancreatic duct problems, Dr. Liao's exceptional technical expertise and high procedural volume translate directly into better outcomes and fewer complications. His close collaboration with the surgical teams at Changhai Hospital and with pancreatic specialists such as Dr. Shen Baiyong at Ruijin Hospital ensures patients receive fully integrated endoscopic and surgical care.
