Lan Xichun (1907 to 1995) was a Chinese surgeon who worked in general surgery and cardio-thoracic surgery and is counted among the founders of biliary and cardiovascular surgery in China. He performed the first splenic-renal vein anastomotic operation in China, improved the operation for gallstones, and so laid a foundation for hepatobiliary surgery in the country. He also carried out the first mitral commissurotomy operation in China, which places him among the pioneers of cardiovascular surgery there. Alongside his operating work he was engaged in medical education and trained many new surgeons. He served as president of Renji Hospital and of Shanghai Second Medical College, and a Chinese-language article cited by the English Wikipedia describes him as a principal founder of biliary and cardiac vascular surgery in China.
