Dr. Emad Kandil's Insightful Visit to Shanghai: Advancing MWA Collaboration

From Nov. 6 - Nov. 8, Dr. Emad Kandil, a respected professor of surgery at Tulane University and an expert in thyroid microwave ablation (MWA), completed a highly enriching visit to Shanghai, China. With a growing experience in minimally invasive treatments and approximately 80 thyroid MWA cases performed to date, Dr. Kandil came to Shanghai with a keen interest in learning from the city’s leading medical professionals and exploring the latest advancements in MWA technology.

Over two days, Dr. Kandil observed 15 advanced MWA procedures at leading institutions, including Dongfang Hospital, affiliated with Tongji University, as well as Ruijin Hospital and Ninth People's Hospital, both affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The diversity of cases and innovative techniques showcased by Shanghai’s doctors offered him valuable new perspectives on the application of MWA technology.

In addition to clinical observations, Dr. Kandil participated in academic discussions with Shanghai’s top key opinion leaders (KOLs), focusing on procedural innovations and strategies for improving patient outcomes. These exchanges highlighted the unique practices employed in Shanghai’s high-volume medical environment, enriching his broader understanding of how MWA is applied in different healthcare systems.

Building on his prior experience in Guangzhou, where he observed the efficiency and scale of MWA practices, Dr. Kandil found his time in Shanghai to be equally impactful. This visit underscored the importance of international collaboration in advancing minimally invasive treatments and further strengthened the foundation for future partnerships.

Dr. Kandil’s Shanghai experience reflects Baird Medical’s commitment to fostering global innovation and promoting cutting-edge treatments.
