China's Top Departments: Anorectal Surgery at Guangdong Clifford Hospital

If you or a loved one is dealing with hemorrhoids, anal fistula or perianal abscess, the Anorectal Surgery department at Guangdong Clifford Hospital offers a distinctly patient-friendly option in southern China — a featured department with separate clinics for men and women, one-stop diagnosis, treatment and nursing services, and painless, minimally invasive integrative (Chinese + Western) treatment, all on the platform of China's first large general Grade 3A hospital to pass international JCI accreditation.

About the Department

Anorectal Surgery (肛肠科) is one of Guangdong Clifford Hospital's featured departments. After more than a decade of development, it brings together several highly experienced colorectal/anorectal specialists and is well equipped with internationally advanced diagnostic and therapeutic instruments.

The department is patient-centred and practices separate clinics for men and women, fully respecting patient privacy. To meet different needs, it offers standard wards, VIP single rooms and deluxe suites, providing one-stop diagnosis, treatment and nursing services for both domestic and international patients.

In terms of scale, the department currently has 4 doctors and 4 nurses, with 10 authorized beds.

Outpatient and inpatient arrangements:

• Outpatient clinic: 1st floor, Surgical Clinic, Building 1; fully equipped, offering visualized anoscopy; online appointment booking available; open on weekends.
• Inpatient ward: 17th floor, Building 1; bright, spacious and comfortable; 24-hour admissions with a commitment to prompt treatment.
• Department enquiries: 020-84518222-51600.

Standing & Accreditation

• Department positioning: the hospital website lists Anorectal Surgery as "one of our featured departments" and highlights its "over a decade of development" and "strong technical capability". The website does not state any national/provincial/municipal "key specialty" ranking for this department; this guide reports that faithfully without exaggeration.
• Hospital platform: Guangdong Clifford Hospital is China's first large general Grade 3A (tertiary) hospital to pass international JCI accreditation (integrative Western and Chinese medicine). It is also a designated institution under the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao "Medicine and Device Connect" (港澳藥械通) scheme, a National GCP drug clinical trial base, and a "Guangdong Famous TCM Hospital". For Hong Kong, Macao and international patients this means recognized hospital management standards, better access to medicines and convenience for cross-border medication.

Core Techniques & Strengths

• Combined minimally invasive techniques for haemorrhoids: flexible use of PPH (procedure for prolapse and haemorrhoids), TST (tissue-selecting therapy), selective haemorrhoidal artery ligation, injection therapy and rubber-band ligation.
• "Aesthetic" suturing with functional preservation: advocates a closed aesthetic suturing technique for external haemorrhoids, avoiding large incisions while preserving both efficacy and appearance.
• Day surgery & laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery: performs day-case surgery for benign anal diseases and is skilled in laparoscopic minimally invasive techniques, emphasizing less trauma and faster recovery.
• Painless, minimally invasive integrative care: combines Chinese and Western medicine for painless, minimally invasive treatment of haemorrhoids, anal fistula, perianal abscess, constipation, anal fissure, anal itching and proctitis.
• Visualized examination: the clinic is equipped with visualized anoscopy for precise diagnosis.
