iahong Dong

Tsinghua University

Dr. Jiahong Dong is Professor, Dean of the School of Clinical Medicine, President of Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, Tsinghua University. He is a member of Chinese Academy of Engineering, as well as the President of Chinese Medical Doctor Association (CMDA).

Dr. Dong has made remarkable achievements in hepatobiliary surgery, especially in the management of complex biliary diseases. He was the first to propose the concept of “precision surgery” worldwide and has been endeavored in establishing the surgical paradigm and technological system ever since. The proposal of “precision liver surgery” in 2006 ushered a paradigm shift from conventional experience-based surgery to modern precision surgery. Dr. Dong innovatively applied the precision surgery to intrahepatic bile duct diseases and successfully changed the treatment paradigm from symptom alleviation to complete cure. He refined the strategy of liver transplantation using the paradigm of precision surgery and largely improved the treatment of the end-stage hepatobiliary diseases, and also achieved a great success in the extracorporeal liver resection and auto-transplantation, which successfully avoided the allograft transplantation and life-long immunosuppressant therapy. For his outstanding contribution in hepatobiliary surgery, Dong was awarded the 2nd class prize of the National Award of Science and Technology Progress as the first contributor and the 1st class prize of the National Award of Science and Technology Progress as co-director.

Dr. Jiahong Dong’s respected and active roles in the academic community include the standing committee member of the Chinese Medical Association (CMA) Surgery Branch and the Chinese Society of Organ Transplantation, Chief of the CMA Biliary Surgery Branch, Chairman of the Liver Tumor Branch of China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health care (CPAM), and the editor-in-chief of the Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery. He has been awarded the honorary foreign academician of French National Academy of Surgery (FAS), honorary fellow of American Surgical Association (ASA), honorary fellow of European Surgical Association (ESA), and the Surgical Section Chairman of the International Association of Surgeons, Gastroenterologists and Oncologists (IASGO).
