One General Anesthetic, Two Surgeries: RenShu Medical Conducts Multidisciplinary

One General Anesthetic, Two Surgeries: RenShu Medical Conducts Multidisciplinary Combined Day Surgery
Recently, Hangzhou RenShu Medical successfully performed two specialized surgeries under a single general anesthetic for a child, addressing both airway and urological issues with dual expert oversight.

​Part 1

A "Little Round Face" with Chronic Snoring
7-year-old Xiaohao, who is overweight, has experienced snoring and mouth breathing for two years without consistent treatment. Dr. Shen observed dental misalignment, an underbite, and an upturned upper lip—classic signs of adenoid facies. A CBCT scan confirmed chronic rhinosinusitis, airway stenosis, and 80% posterior nasal aperture obstruction due to adenoid hypertrophy.
The parents mentioned Xiaohao had undergone orthodontic treatment for a year with limited success. A recent visit to a tertiary dental hospital recommended addressing his upper airway issues, leaving them puzzled.
Given Xiaohao’s obesity and severe snoring, a sleep study revealed moderate obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), also known as pediatric snoring. In children, OSAHS is often caused by enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which increase upper airway resistance during inhalation. This creates negative pressure in the pharynx, causing soft palate and tongue root collapse, especially in supine positions, leading to snoring and even apnea. Frequent oxygen deprivation during sleep risks cognitive and developmental delays.

"One-Stop" Surgical Service Tailored to Patient Needs
The parents requested expedited scheduling, as they planned to take Xiaohao to Provincial Children’s Hospital for circumcision surgery in late March, aiming for adequate post-op recovery.
As a multidisciplinary pediatric care platform, RenShu efficiently connected the family with Dr. Chen, a renowned urologist from a top-tier hospital, bypassing common hurdles like long wait times and bed shortages.
Typically, public hospitals would require ​two separate surgeries:
Minimally invasive low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation and resection of tonsils/adenoids
Circumcision
This would involve ​two scheduling processes, ​two preoperative exams, ​two surgeries, ​two recovery periods, and repeated follow-ups—demanding significant parental time and coordination across departments.
Based on Xiaohao’s condition and the family’s needs, Dr. Shen and Dr. Chen devised a streamlined plan: ​one anesthesia session, ​no room transfers, and ​sequential surgeries to eliminate the trauma of multiple procedures and delays.
Under dual anesthesia supervision, Dr. Shen first performed endoscopic adenotonsillectomy using high-definition scopes and imported radiofrequency ablation tools. The team then repositioned Xiaohao for Dr. Chen’s circumcision—ring application, incision, excision, and suturing—completed in one seamless workflow.
The parents praised the process: “Two surgeries for a young child would have been exhausting. RenShu handled both in one go—both experts were professional. He woke up comfortable and went home happily by 5 PM the same day!”
RenShu’s Advantage:
Single anesthesia, zero transfers: Combines ENT and urological procedures in one session.
Expert collaboration: Coordinated care between specialists avoids fragmented treatment.
Time and cost efficiency: Eliminates repeated pre-op preparations and recovery periods.
By integrating multidisciplinary resources, RenShu delivers safer, faster, and more patient-centered care.
