The first cerebrospinal fluid department to receive national and international peer recognition The department currently receives cerebrospinal fluid patients of all ages from 0 to 70 years old. The etiology is also all-encompassing. In addition to traumatic hydrocephalus, subarachnoid hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, cerebral hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, and idiopathic or refractory hydrocephalus of unknown complexity, there are many non-hydrocephalic cerebrospinal fluid disorders, such as cerebrospinal fluid leak, (spinal) spinal membrane bulge, and submicrocephalic tonsillar herniation malformation. However, one thing in common is that almost all of the patients were referred to the Department of Cerebrospinal Fluid for a “last ditch effort to survive” due to repeated treatment failures that had reached a life-threatening level, and under such severe circumstances, the Department of Cerebrospinal Fluid still achieved more than 90% clinical cure, which was noted by colleagues in the industry. After the establishment of the cerebrospinal fluid department, many domestic famous neurosurgeons have recommended patients to come to the clinic, the most famous of which is Li Xiaoyong’s doctoral supervisor, the late Professor Wang Loyal, who, on the eve of his last hospitalization, had recommended a patient who had repeatedly failed to undergo hydrocephalus shunts after cerebral aneurysm surgery to come to the clinic, and especially explained to the family that: “At present, there is only one domestic He also explained to the family that “only one of my students named Li Xiaoyong has a solution for this kind of refractory hydrocephalus”. The patient received the desired treatment result as expected: from coma to consciousness, with free movement of the limbs, and the family is still very proud to mention that the patient was saved by the introduction of the most famous neurosurgeon in China. The patient was also referred by Professor Zhao Yadu and Professor Luo Shiqi, the veteran neurosurgeons of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, and Professor Ling Feng, the famous neurosurgeon of Xuanwu Hospital, and other famous neurosurgeons in China. The Cerebrospinal Fluid Disease Department has thus established its unique leading position in the industry.

In the first two years of the department’s existence, most of the patients admitted were from top hospitals in Beijing, which are famous for their neurosurgery. Later, the influence gradually extended to the neurosurgery departments of provincial hospitals across the country. By the third year of the department’s development, the patient population was extended to famous neurosurgery units in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xinjiang and other areas far from the medical center of Beijing. Its academic and clinical achievements quickly also attracted the attention of many mainstream media reports such as CCTV, Beijing TV and Liaoning TV. The cerebrospinal fluid department has not only been recognized by its domestic counterparts and patients, but its influence is also expanding internationally. In early 2014, the department received a case of a Chinese patient with hydrocephalus who had lost self-awareness after treatment failed in an Italian hospital and returned to China to seek further treatment, and after a period of careful treatment by Li Xiaoyong’s team, he quickly regained consciousness and speech, achieving a treatment effect that exceeded the expectations of the patient’s family. In August of the same year, Director Li Xiaoyong was invited to the Prince of Wales Hospital of the Chinese University of Hong Kong to consult on a case of hydrocephalus that had failed multiple consecutive surgeries. ”China’s position and influence in the world political and economic arena is increasing year by year, we can also take a leading position in neurosurgery, break the existing following situation, so that patients around the world can benefit from it. It is with this spirit of “daring to be the first in the world” that Li Xiaoyong has created a brand new medical career, bringing new light to patients with cerebrospinal fluid disease in desperate situations, and he is confident in the future of his new discipline.
