Dr. Xiaohai Wang (王小海) - Urologist
Personal Biography
Dr. Xiaohai Wang is an Associate Chief Physician and a key member of the Clinical Urology Center at Shanghai General Hospital. He focuses on the standardized diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of urological tumors, particularly prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and is a core member of the hospital’s Da Vinci Robotic Surgery team. His clinical work includes MRI-ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy, Thulium laser surgery for BPH, and robotic and laparoscopic approaches to urological malignancies.
Dr. Wang holds a Ph.D. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. He trained under Professor Xia Shujie in Thulium laser surgery and completed visiting-scholar training at the University of Rochester Medical Center and Northwestern University in the United States.
Why Choose Dr. Xiaohai Wang for Your Care?
Dr. Xiaohai Wang’s practice is particularly relevant to patients seeking specialist review for prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or other urological tumors where minimally invasive options may be under consideration. As a core member of the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery team at Shanghai General Hospital, he combines robotic and laparoscopic urological surgery with Thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) and MRI-ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy.
For international patients, a remote specialist review before travel can help organize the clinical questions that need to be addressed and clarify possible next steps for care in Shanghai. Providing recent imaging, biopsy or pathology reports, PSA history where relevant, previous treatment records, and a concise question list gives Dr. Wang a clearer basis for reviewing the case and discussing whether further hospital evaluation should be considered.
Pre-Travel Case Review & Specialist Liaison
Before committing to medical travel to China, international patients can request MedBridgeNZ coordination for a remote specialist review with Dr. Xiaohai Wang. We organize medical records, coordinate translation where needed, transfer client-authorized documents to the relevant hospital team, and communicate the patient’s questions and appointment request.
Once the remote review is confirmed, Dr. Wang will review the submitted records and provide his clinical opinion, recommendations, and responses to the patient’s questions through the arranged pathway. This pre-travel step can help clarify the proposed urology pathway, the need for further hospital evaluation, and the practical feasibility of arranging care in Shanghai before travel plans are finalized.
