About Dr. Yang Qintai

Professor Yang Qintai is President of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and academic leader of otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery and allergy. He has devoted his career to rhinology and allergic disease, specialising in nasal endoscopic surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyps and nasal-skull base disease, and in the comprehensive management of allergic rhinitis. His research focuses on type 2 inflammation and the united airway concept linking rhinitis, sinusitis and asthma. He has published widely, contributed to national expert position papers, and received the Sun Yat-sen University Teaching Master award.

Dr. Yang Qintai ’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.

Chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps

Professor Yang diagnoses and treats chronic rhinosinusitis with and without nasal polyps, performing endoscopic sinus surgery and medical therapy to relieve nasal obstruction, restore sinus drainage and improve smell and breathing for patients with inflammatory sinonasal disease in routine clinical practice.

Allergic rhinitis

He provides comprehensive care for allergic rhinitis and united airway disease, integrating allergen testing, medication, immunotherapy and patient education to control nasal symptoms, reduce asthma exacerbations and improve the daily quality of life of both children and adults living with respiratory allergy.

Nasal-skull base endoscopy

He performs advanced endoscopic surgery for benign and malignant sinonasal tumours and nasal-skull base disease, using image guidance and minimally invasive techniques to remove lesions completely, protect critical structures and speed recovery for patients with complex nasal and skull base conditions.

More： sinusitis——endoscopic surgery; nasal obstruction——diagnosis; smell disorders——assessment; paediatric rhinitis——management; allergen immunotherapy——treatment

  • 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. Artificial Intelligence Diagnosis of Nasal Polyp Cellular Phenotypes (AICEP 2.0)
For patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) facing high recurrence, this study built an AI platform (AICEP 2.0) using whole-slide imaging to classify four nasal polyp cellular phenotypes, helping surgeons predict recurrence and select personalized, less invasive endoscopic treatment.
2. Bacterial Lysate Add-On Therapy to Prevent Nasal Polyp Recurrence After Surgery
A clinical study investigated adding bacterial lysates after endoscopic sinus surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, aiming to reduce postoperative recurrence and inflammation. The add-on immunotherapy offers a practical option for patients seeking to lower the chance of repeat nasal polyp surgery.
3. ARIA-EAACI 2024-2025 Guidelines on Intranasal Treatment for Allergic Rhinitis
These international guidelines summarize evidence-based intranasal treatments, including corticosteroids and antihistamines, for patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma. They guide clinicians in selecting effective nasal sprays and stepwise therapy to control sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion symptoms in adults and children.
4. Biomarker Discovery in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps
This study identified and validated molecular biomarkers in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and explored their associated mechanisms. The findings could help clinicians predict disease severity and recurrence, supporting more precise, biomarker-guided medical treatment for patients with difficult-to-control nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis.
5. Spatial Pathology and Artificial Intelligence for Nasal Polyps
This review examines spatial pathology techniques and artificial intelligence for analyzing nasal polyp tissue, highlighting how digital imaging reveals inflammatory cell distribution and subtypes. Such advances may improve diagnosis and individualize treatment for patients with recurrent or treatment-resistant chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
6. AICEP 1.0: Artificial Intelligence for Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis Diagnosis
The first-generation AICEP platform applied artificial intelligence to histopathology for diagnosing eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis. By automating inflammatory cell counting, it shortened diagnostic time and improved accuracy, helping ear, nose and throat specialists stratify patients and tailor treatment to reduce nasal polyp recurrence after surgery.

  • 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.
