About
Cecilia Chang is a surgeon-scientist whose research bridges urologic oncology, robotic surgery, and women’s pelvic health. Her work focuses on improving postoperative outcomes and surgical training in minimally invasive procedures. Chang’s most cited study (17 citations) investigates adherence and barriers to penile rehabilitation following radical prostatectomy, revealing critical insights into patient compliance with erectile dysfunction therapies—a key quality-of-life concern for prostate cancer survivors. She has also made significant contributions to robotic surgical education, piloting a skills curriculum for surgical oncology fellows and comparing virtual reality platforms like the dV-Trainer and da Vinci Simulator (10–16 citations). Her comparative retrospective study on mini-laparotomy versus laparoscopic/robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (6 citations) advances understanding of postoperative complications and unanticipated healthcare encounters in pelvic organ prolapse repair. Chang’s work not only refines surgical techniques but also addresses the human factors—patient adherence, training efficacy, and recovery—that determine real-world success. Her research is essential reading for clinicians and trainees seeking to optimize outcomes in robotic and reconstructive surgery.
