I. Hospital Overview and Scale
The hospital currently operates under a “one main campus, three branches” structure:
Xinjiekou Campus (31 Xinjiekou East Street, Xicheng District), Xinlongze Campus (No. 1 Longyu Middle Street, Huilongguan Town, Changping District), and Huilongguan Campus (Wenhua Road, Huilongguan Cultural Residential Area, Changping District). With a total floor area exceeding 700,000 square meters, the hospital offers over 3,000 beds, handles more than 1.6 million outpatient and emergency visits annually, and performs over 60,000 surgeries per year (with orthopedic surgeries accounting for over 40%). The hospital employs over 5,000 staff members, including more than 800 senior-level specialists. These experts encompass dual-appointed academicians, nationally recognized high-level talents, and recipients of special government allowances from the State Council. The hospital has assembled internationally renowned academic leaders in fields such as orthopedics, burn care, and emergency medicine.
II. Technical Advantages: Driving Disciplinary Development Through Precision, Minimally Invasive Techniques, and Innovation
Jishuitan Hospital's technical strengths deeply integrate “clinical needs” with “cutting-edge technology,” establishing irreplaceable technical barriers in complex trauma care, bone and joint repair/reconstruction, burn wound management, and minimally invasive treatment of sports injuries.
• Orthopedic Comprehensive Strength: As a National Key Clinical Specialty and Beijing Key Discipline, the Orthopedics Department encompasses 12 subspecialties, including Trauma Orthopedics, Spine Surgery, Joint Surgery, Sports Medicine, Hand Surgery, and Pediatric Orthopedics. It performs over 25,000 surgeries annually, serving patients across all age groups from children to the elderly.
• Trauma Orthopedics: Pioneered internationally the “minimally invasive reduction and fixation technique for pelvic fractures” and the “closed pinning technique for complex limb fractures.” Achieves a trauma treatment success rate exceeding 98%, particularly in the comprehensive management of multiple injuries and high-energy trauma through its “Golden Hour” emergency system.
• Spine Surgery: Pioneered “navigation-assisted spinal deformity correction” and “percutaneous endoscopic discectomy for lumbar disc herniation.” Performs over 8,000 spinal surgeries annually, ranking first nationally in complex procedures like severe scoliosis and ankylosing spondylitis kyphosis correction.
• Sports Medicine: Leveraging the “Tianji Orthopedic Surgical Robot,” the department achieves precise repair of sports injuries like knee ligament tears and rotator cuff tears. Surgical trauma is reduced to one-third of traditional open procedures, with postoperative recovery periods shortened by 50%.
• Burn Medicine: The Burn Department is a National Key Clinical Specialty and Beijing Key Discipline, consistently ranking first in China's Hospital Science and Technology Metrics (STEM) for burn surgery.
• Extensive Burn Treatment: Breakthroughs in techniques like “shock-phase escharotome debridement” and “allograft coverage with autograft transplantation” achieve over 90% success rates in treating extensive burns (over 80% body surface area), reaching internationally leading standards.
• Wound Repair: For chronic non-healing wounds like diabetic foot ulcers and pressure sores, we developed “Vacuum Sealed Drainage (VSD) combined with stem cell transplantation” technology, boosting wound healing rates to over 85%. These findings are incorporated into the Chinese Guidelines for Chronic Wound Management.
• Critical Care and Multidisciplinary Collaboration: The Emergency Medicine Department serves as the designated unit for Beijing's Emergency Quality Control Center. It has established three critical care green channels for trauma, burns, and acute abdomen, ensuring seamless continuity from pre-hospital emergency care through surgery and rehabilitation. The Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine (ICU) departments provide “precision life support” for high-risk surgeries, safeguarding the success rate of complex cases.
• Critical Care and Multidisciplinary Collaboration: The Department of Emergency Medicine serves as the designated unit for the Beijing Emergency Quality Control Center. It has established three green channels for critical care: trauma, burns, and acute abdomen, ensuring seamless continuity from pre-hospital emergency care through surgery and rehabilitation. The Departments of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine (ICU) provide “precision life support” for high-risk surgeries, enhancing the success rate of complex cases.

VI. International Patient Testimonials: “Professional to the Last Detail, Warm to the Heart”
• Liam, American professional basketball player (ankle ligament rupture): “I came here after my game injury based on its reputation. The sports medicine doctors used robotic technology to precisely repair my ligament, and I was walking the day after surgery. Nurses taught me rehab exercises in English daily, even customizing my brace to my height and weight. Their professionalism amazed me!”
• Yasuhiro, Japanese Senior Tourist (Femoral Neck Fracture): “At Xinjiekou Hospital's emergency department, a translator nurse accompanied me through all tests, and surgery was scheduled within two hours. During my stay, doctors used tablets daily to show my recovery progress. Upon discharge, they gave me an illustrated rehabilitation manual with dietary advice, even labeled in Japanese!”
• Russian engineer Dmitry (extensive burns): “The burn team saved me with VSD therapy and 3D-printed dressings. Nurses specially adjusted my room temperature (Russians dislike heat) and taught my family wound care techniques. Now back in Moscow, Beijing doctors still provide real-time guidance during follow-up via telemedicine!”
