Dr. Mei Xiaofeng ’s Three Key Areas of Expertise

Three areas of focused expertise, each supported by a deep subspecialty team, high case volumes and an English-speaking care pathway coordinated by Orisene.

BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)

Dr. Mei Xiaofeng is one of China's earliest physicians to carry out positional diagnosis, canalith repositioning maneuvers, and surgery for BPPV. His department completes over 2,000 vestibular function tests every year, offering comprehensive, guideline-based relief for patients with disabling positional vertigo and dizziness.

Meniere's Disease

Using electrocochleography and gadolinium-enhanced inner-ear MRI, Dr. Mei improves diagnostic accuracy for Meniere's disease to about 90 percent. He performs endolymphatic sac surgery that fills a local gap in Foshan, helping patients control disabling vertigo, tinnitus and hearing fluctuations while preserving their hearing.

Lateral Skull Base & Head-and-Neck Tumors

Dr. Mei performs microsurgery for complex lateral skull base tumors such as glomus jugulare tumors and acoustic neuromas. In 2026 he led a 20-hour multidisciplinary resection of an invasive jugular bulb tumor in an international patient, achieving complete removal without blood transfusion.

More specialties: hearing loss and cochlear implantation, otomicrosurgery (tympanomastoid surgery, ossicular reconstruction), facial-nerve decompression, tinnitus, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux and voice disorders

  • Clinical Practice & Publications

Selected cases, research & publications

Representative work drawn from documented clinical treatments, publicly indexed literature, and hospital project records, reflecting the depth of this physician's hands-on expertise and academic rigor.
1. 20-Hour Multidisciplinary Resection of an Invasive Jugular Bulb Tumor
A patient from Bangladesh with a large glomus jugulare tumor invading the skull base, temporal bone and neck underwent a 20-hour multidisciplinary operation led by Dr. Mei. The tumor was completely removed without blood transfusion; three weeks later facial palsy fully recovered and hearing was preserved.
2. Bilateral Cochlear Implantation Under National Centralized Procurement
A two-year-old boy with congenital profound bilateral deafness received bilateral cochlear implants on April 9, 2025, in an operation led by Dr. Mei’s team. National centralized procurement reduced the device cost from over RMB 300,000 to about RMB 30,000 after medical insurance reimbursement.
3. Introduction of the Cochlear CI632 Implant via the Greater Bay Area Drug and Device Connect
In 2024, Foshan Chanyi became Foshan’s first designated institution under the Greater Bay Area Drug and Device Connect. Its ENT department, led by Dr. Mei, introduced Australia’s Cochlear CI632 implant for prelingual and severe deafness, improving access to advanced devices.
4. BPPV Repositioning and Comprehensive Treatment
Dr. Mei is one of China’s earliest physicians to research and perform BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) manipulation therapy. His department completes over 2,000 vertigo tests every year, offers the full range of repositioning maneuvers, and combines international guidelines with mixed-oxygen therapy for lasting relief.
5. Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment of Meniere’s Disease
Dr. Mei’s department was the first in Foshan to use electrocochleography area-ratio testing for Meniere’s disease and endolymphatic hydrops, running over 1,500 tests yearly with an 80% positive rate. Gadolinium-enhanced inner-ear MRI lifts accuracy to about 90%, and the department’s Meniere’s surgery fills a gap in Foshan.
6. Advanced Otologic and Lateral Skull Base Surgical Program
Under Dr. Mei’s leadership, the department became the first in Foshan to perform intact-canal mastoidectomy with tympanoplasty, cochlear implantation, acoustic neuroma and glomus jugulare tumor removal, endolymphatic sac drainage, and complete facial-nerve decompression, bringing advanced otologic and lateral skull base care closer to local patients.

  • WHY INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS CHOOSE CHINA

Why patients travel to China for treatment

Six reasons international patients now put China on their shortlist — from internationally aligned clinical capability to the policy channels that make treatment here genuinely reachable.

Clinical capability at international standard

Chinese hospitals deliver internationally aligned protocols, performing vast volumes of advanced robotic, minimally invasive, and complex transplant surgeries annually. This massive clinical data and highly specialized workforce ensure world-class outcomes, even for rare and complex cases.

Diagnostics and treatment in days, not months

A full medical workup that typically means months of waiting elsewhere is completed in China within 48–72 hours. Imaging, labs, and multidisciplinary consultations are integrated into a single visit, allowing treatment to commence immediately.

Transparent, itemised pricing

Chinese healthcare offers legally binding, itemised cost estimates before treatment begins, eliminating hidden fees or surprise billing. Due to national centralized procurement, total expenses remain 40–70% lower than comparable care in Western Europe or North America.

Policy channels that open the door

China facilitates access through 240-hour visa-free transit and dedicated medical visa routes. Policies like the Greater Bay Area drug pathway and Boao Lecheng’s pilot zone allow designated hospitals to administer innovative therapies not yet globally approved.
