Precision is everything.” From performing 28 surgeries in a single day to designing the world’s smallest nephroscope, Prof. Li Jianxing is transforming the future of kidney stone surgery—one breakthrough at a time.

At Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, Prof. Li leads a department that has grown from a small team into a global leader in minimally invasive urology. His innovations, like ultrasound-guided PCNL and the flexible percutaneous nephroscope, are redefining standards in safety, efficiency, and surgical precision.

Highlights:

✅ 100% success rate in pediatric cases

✅ Live surgery broadcast to Europe completed in 18 minutes—no bleeding

✅ Development of robotic-assisted, ultra-minimally invasive techniques

✅ A 1.3mm needle nephroscope with fiber-optic imaging and laser lithotripsy

Li’s story is not just about surgical excellence—it's about vision, persistence, and building a legacy of innovation in urology that’s impacting patients worldwide.

As part of Tsinghua Medicine, his team continues to drive forward the frontiers of clinical science and technology.
