Hao Xiang is a Pediatric Surgeon based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. He looks after children who need help with surgical problems, from babies through to teens. When kids are unwell, families often need clear answers fast, and Hao Xiang focuses on calm, practical care.
Paediatric surgery can cover a lot of different issues. In many cases, this includes problems in the tummy and gut, such as intussusception, annular pancreas, and childhood conditions that cause ongoing pain, vomiting, or trouble feeding. He also treats conditions like achalasia, where swallowing can become difficult, and helps manage gallbladder problems and gallstones when they show up in kids.
Some referrals come in as sudden emergencies. For example, testicular torsion can be time-critical, and early surgery can make a big difference. At times, children are seen for hernias and other abdominal wall problems. Others come in with bowel inflammation or infections, where surgery is only part of the plan and close medical support is also important.
Congenital conditions are also part of the work. Hao Xiang treats some birth-related problems, including heart-related conditions such as partial atrioventricular canal and endocardial cushion defect, as well as other rare conditions. He also looks after children with growth and bone-related issues, like Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and pectus carinatum, where surgery may help in certain situations.
Work can also involve lumps, cysts, and growths. This may include things like epidermoid cysts, ganglion cysts, and some types of tumours found in childhood. He treats a range of thoracic and abdominal conditions too, and he works carefully with the team around the child to plan the safest approach.
Care doesn’t stop at the operating theatre. Hao Xiang supports families through the run-up to treatment and the recovery period afterwards. He stays up to date with current paediatric surgical practice, and works closely with other doctors so each child gets the right plan.
For families in Sydney looking for a paediatric surgeon, Hao Xiang offers a child-focused approach to diagnosis and treatment, with extra attention on comfort, safety, and clear communication throughout.
