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 treatments by class and does not name a brand, a device or a product, does not quote prices or dosages, and does not claim that feeling will return, that a nerve can be restored to normal, or that any outcome is assured. It states the limits and the alternatives, and it names the physician responsible for the medical content.
Honesty requirements for this subject
Because numbness after an operation is so common and because some of it never fully recovers, this site states plainly that a patch of reduced feeling can be left for good, that fine touch is the last thing to return and the last thing to be trusted, and that an operation on a nerve improves a situation more often than it restores it. It does not present surgery as a remedy for a limit that was never explained beforehand.
