About
Dr. Chi Rei Yang is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research has centered on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). His landmark study, "Robotic‐assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: Learning curve of first 100 cases" (2010, 35 citations), provided critical insights into the adoption and mastery of robotic surgery in Taiwan. By retrospectively analyzing the outcomes of a single surgeon’s initial 100 RALP procedures, Dr. Yang systematically documented the learning curve—demonstrating how operative time, complication rates, and functional outcomes improved with experience. This work not only established a benchmark for surgeons transitioning to robotic approaches but also highlighted the importance of structured training programs in urologic oncology. Dr. Yang’s contributions have helped shape best practices in prostate cancer surgery, reducing patient morbidity and improving recovery times. His research remains a foundational reference for clinicians and trainees seeking to understand the practical challenges and benefits of robotic-assisted surgery, underscoring his role as a key figure in the global adoption of this technology.
