Dr. Yong Yi (易勇) - Hepatobiliary Surgeon

Is Dr. Yong Yi’s expertise relevant to my liver condition?

Dr. Yi’s stated clinical focus includes minimally invasive and open surgery for primary and metastatic liver tumors, hepatic hemangioma, hepatic cysts, hepatic adenoma, focal nodular hyperplasia, complex liver cancer, hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and conversion therapy for advanced liver cancer. To understand how this experience relates to an individual case, patients can begin with a remote specialist review of their current imaging, pathology, medical reports, prior treatment history and prepared questions. MedBridgeNZ coordinates the record preparation, translation and authorized document transfer for this review.

How can an international patient request an appointment with Dr. Yi?

International patients can submit an inquiry to MedBridgeNZ for remote specialist-review coordination or an in-person appointment request at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. We coordinate the collection and organization of medical records, translation support where needed, client-authorized document transfer, and appointment communication with the relevant hospital office. The remote review allows Dr. Yi to provide an opinion and recommended next steps before travel. In-person appointment dates remain subject to the hospital’s scheduling process and the specialist’s availability.

What happens during a remote specialist review with Dr. Yong Yi?

During the remote specialist review, Dr. Yi will examine the submitted imaging, pathology and medical reports, then provide a specialist opinion, recommendations and responses to the patient’s prepared questions. Depending on the case, the opinion may discuss whether minimally invasive surgery, open resection or conversion therapy warrants further consideration, without predetermining an in-person treatment plan. MedBridgeNZ coordinates document preparation, translation and communication, while the medical opinion and recommendations are provided by Dr. Yi.

What support is available if I travel to Shanghai for hospital care?

After the remote review, patients who wish to pursue an in-person pathway in Shanghai can request MedBridgeNZ’s medical travel coordination support. Services can include appointment communication with Zhongshan Hospital, medical invitation or visa-document coordination support, travel and accommodation planning, translation coordination, and non-clinical bilingual administrative support during hospital visits. The scope is tailored to the patient’s itinerary and the hospital’s administrative requirements, helping reduce avoidable logistical uncertainty throughout the medical travel process.
