Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University
Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University: A Medical Hub in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle
I. Hospital Overview
Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University is a Grade A tertiary general hospital directly under the Sichuan Provincial Health Commission and a direct affiliate of Chengdu University. Integrating medical care, teaching, research, prevention, health preservation, and rehabilitation, it serves as a National Standardized Residency Training Base, a National Drug Clinical Trial Institution, and a Sichuan Provincial Postdoctoral Innovation Practice Base. It also functions as the core platform for medical talent cultivation and scientific innovation at Chengdu University.
Traced back to the “West China Hospital of West China Union University” established in 1901 (the 27th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty), the hospital has undergone a century of transformation. It officially became the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University in 2008. Currently operating across two campuses—the Main Campus (No. 34, North Section 2, First Ring Road, Jinniu District) and the Longquan Campus (No. 121, Jinglong Road, Longquanyi District)—it boasts a total construction area of approximately 300,000 square meters, over 2 and the Longquan Campus (121 Jinglong Road, Longquanyi District). With a total floor area of approximately 300,000 square meters and over 2,200 open beds, the hospital serves more than 3 million outpatient and emergency visits annually, ranking among Chengdu's leading municipal hospitals in comprehensive service capacity.
Guided by its motto “Integrity and Expertise, Compassion and Service,” the hospital pursues a development strategy of “Strengthening Specialties, Enhancing Comprehensive Care.” Leveraging university research resources and the advantages of its close medical alliance with West China Hospital, it has developed distinctive strengths in treating complex and critical illnesses, advancing minimally invasive techniques, and multidisciplinary team (MDT) approaches. It stands as a vital medical hub within the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle.
II. Technological Advantages: Innovation-Driven Precision Medicine
Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University prioritizes clinical needs, concentrating on core areas including minimally invasive surgery, critical care, comprehensive cancer treatment, and bone/joint reconstruction. This focus has yielded multiple nationally leading technological strengths:
• Minimally Invasive Surgery: Over 85% of procedures in general surgery, orthopedics, and urology departments are minimally invasive. Techniques such as laparoscopic gastrectomy/colorectal cancer resection, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and arthroscopic ligament reconstruction are well-established, with annual minimally invasive surgeries exceeding 6,000 cases. In 2023, the introduction of the fourth-generation Da Vinci surgical robot further enhances precision and reduces trauma in complex procedures.
• Critical Care Medicine: The Emergency Medicine Department (a provincial-level key specialty) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) equipped with advanced devices including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). A comprehensive response system linking pre-hospital emergency care, in-hospital resuscitation, and critical care has been established. The success rate for treating severe trauma, sepsis, acute myocardial infarction, and other critical emergencies reaches 93%, ranking among the top tier of municipal hospitals in Chengdu.
• Comprehensive Cancer Care: Leveraging 3.0T MRI, PET-CT, and genetic testing platforms, the Oncology Department conducts multidisciplinary tumor consultations (MDT), targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), achieving regionally advanced tumor control rates. The collaboration with West China Hospital's Cancer Center to establish the “Precision Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Center” has significantly enhanced capabilities in managing complex cases.
• Bone and Joint Repair: The Orthopedics Department (a provincial-level key specialty) leads in minimally invasive spine surgery (endoscopic discectomy), joint replacement (robot-assisted total hip/knee arthroplasty), and complex trauma repair. Performing over 3,000 surgeries annually, it provides integrated “surgery-rehabilitation-nursing” services, particularly for patients with osteoporotic fractures and degenerative spinal conditions.
III. Leading Specialties: A Cluster of National and Provincial Key Specialties with Robust Technical Capabilities
The hospital boasts multiple national and provincial key specialties, forming a discipline matrix characterized by “strong specialties and refined techniques”:
• National Distinctive Specialties: Emergency Medicine (Member of the National Emergency Medicine Center Alliance), Orthopedics (Branch Center of the National Clinical Research Center for Orthopedic Diseases).
• Provincial Key Specialties: Orthopedics (spinal minimally invasive surgery, joint replacement), Emergency Medicine (critical care treatment system), Cardiovascular Medicine (coronary intervention, radiofrequency ablation for arrhythmia), Neurosurgery (minimally invasive intracranial hemorrhage evacuation, traumatic brain injury management).
• Municipal Key Specialties: Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (Precision Diagnosis of Pulmonary Nodules, Ventilator Support), Urology (Percutaneous Nephroscopy, Standardized Prostate Cancer Treatment), Radiology (3.0T MRI Precision Diagnosis, Interventional Radiotherapy), Anesthesiology (Complex Surgical Anesthesia and Pain Management).
IV. Departmental Structure: Comprehensive Coverage for Diverse Needs
The hospital features a comprehensive array of over 40 clinical and medical technology departments, including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Otolaryngology, Dermatology, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
