The hospital
This site is published by Chongqing West District Hospital, a tertiary general hospital at 301 Huafu Avenue North Section, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing. Every reference to the hospital on this site means that institution, and the treating team practises within it.
Advertising and claims
This site describes implants and materials by substance and technology class and does not name a brand product, does not quote prices, does not quote dosages, and does not claim that an operation will produce a particular result. It states risks, limits and alternatives, including observing a stable finding rather than operating, and it names the physician responsible for the medical content.
Honesty requirements for implant surgery
Because implants are not lifetime devices, this site states that exchange at some point is likely wherever an implant is discussed. Because rupture can be silent, it states that surveillance imaging is recommended rather than relying on symptoms. Because a revision is a second operation, it states the additional risks and the possibility that the honest recommendation is not to operate.
