About
Dr. Changdong Yang is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastric cancer treatment, particularly through robotic and laparoscopic approaches. His major contributions center on evaluating the comparative effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted total gastrectomy (RATG) versus laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) for advanced gastric cancer. In his highly cited 2020 propensity score matching study, which has garnered 33 citations, Dr. Yang demonstrated that RATG offers superior short-term outcomes, including reduced blood loss, faster recovery, and comparable lymph node dissection quality, challenging conventional surgical paradigms. This work has provided critical evidence for the adoption of robotic surgery in complex oncologic resections. Beyond this landmark study, Dr. Yang’s research portfolio systematically addresses perioperative outcomes, oncologic efficacy, and technical refinements in gastric cancer surgery. His findings have influenced clinical guidelines and surgical training, positioning him as a key figure in the evolution of robotic gastrectomy. For students and researchers, Dr. Yang exemplifies how rigorous comparative effectiveness research can translate into tangible improvements in patient care and surgical innovation.
