Prof. Jianguo Zhang is Director of Gastroenterology and Director of the Digestive Endoscopy Center at Aviation General Hospital. He focuses on early digestive cancer diagnosis and treatment, hepatobiliary-pancreatic endoscopic intervention, original NOEES techniques, and medical device translation.

Focused on screening, precise assessment, endoscopic curative resection, and organ-preserving treatment pathways.

Advanced ERCP, EUS, EUS-BD, drainage conversion, and complex stone or ductal disease management.

01

Creator of the NOEES system

A natural access, zero-incision surgical philosophy using the body's native pathways to complete treatment.

02

Frontier endoscopic procedures

Pioneered gallbladder polyp removal, gallstone extraction, acute cholecystitis drainage, intrahepatic stone extraction, EUS-BD, and long-distance ESD.

03

Original endoscopic devices

Developed Zhang Scissors and Zhang Dissection Knife to improve drainage conversion and early cancer resection.

04

International academic presence

Invited speaker and live-demonstration expert at DDW, UEGW, APDW, and other major international meetings.

Clinical Focus

A complete capability system for early cancer and hepatobiliary-pancreatic endoscopy

A systematic technical capability built around NOEES, early digestive cancer, complex pancreatobiliary disease, and medical-engineering translation.
