About
Dr. Chih-Chang Chang is a leading orthopedic spine surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive spinal surgery through cutting-edge technology. His primary research areas include robot-assisted surgery, computer navigation, and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) techniques. Dr. Chang’s major contribution lies in directly comparing modern surgical technologies to determine their relative efficacy and safety. His landmark multicenter study, "Comparison between robot-assisted and navigation-guided minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion," published in 2024, provides critical evidence on how robot-assisted and navigation-guided systems perform against each other—an area previously unexplored. This work, already cited 12 times, has helped surgeons make data-driven decisions about which technology to adopt for percutaneous pedicle screw placement. By demonstrating that both technologies significantly improve accuracy and safety over traditional freehand fluoroscopy-guided techniques, Dr. Chang has shaped clinical practice and patient outcomes. His research continues to guide the evolution of spine surgery toward greater precision and less invasive approaches, making him a key voice in the field of spinal navigation and robotics.
