Dr. Lei Wang (王磊) - Oral and Maxillofacial-Head and Neck Oncology Surgeon
Personal Biography
Dr. Lei Wang is a Chief Physician, Associate Professor and Doctoral Supervisor in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial-Head and Neck Oncology at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. His clinical work focuses on the surgical management of oral, maxillofacial and cervical tumors and lesions, including tumor resection, microsurgical functional reconstruction, neurotized jaw reconstruction and facial nerve–preserving surgery for parotid gland tumors.
He earned his M.D. from the Fourth Military Medical University, completed postdoctoral research and served as a lecturer at the University of Southern California, and was a visiting scholar at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Boston University. His clinical and research work has a particular emphasis on functional reconstruction following complex head and neck surgery.
Why Consult Dr. Lei Wang for Head and Neck Oncology?
For international patients considering complex oral, maxillofacial or head and neck surgery in China, Dr. Lei Wang offers a combination of senior clinical leadership at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital and research and training experience in the United States. His practice covers oncologic resection and microsurgical functional reconstruction, with particular expertise in neurotized jaw reconstruction and minimally invasive parotid tumor surgery with facial nerve preservation.
These cases often require coordinated review of imaging, pathology, previous treatment records and reconstructive priorities before travel. A remote specialist review with Dr. Wang can help clarify the proposed surgical approach, identify additional information that may be required and support a more informed decision about whether to pursue an in-person pathway in Shanghai.
Pre-Travel Case Review & Specialist Liaison
Before arranging travel to Shanghai, international patients can request MedBridgeNZ coordination for a remote specialist-review pathway with Dr. Lei Wang. We organize medical-record preparation, translation coordination, secure client-authorized document transfer to the hospital team, appointment communication and bilingual support.
Once the remote review with Dr. Wang is confirmed, he reviews the submitted records, provides his specialist opinion and recommendations, and answers the patient’s questions. This pre-travel step can clarify the proposed surgical pathway, any additional documentation required and whether an in-person hospital visit should be planned, reducing avoidable travel before the case has been reviewed.
