About

Dr. Chih-Peng Chang is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). His research focuses on robotic and laparoscopic approaches to prostate surgery, with a particular emphasis on improving outcomes for patients with large-volume prostates. Dr. Chang’s landmark study, “Robotic simple prostatectomy: Initial single-center experience in Taiwan” (2016, 5 citations), documented the first robotic simple prostatectomy series in his country, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of this technique as an alternative to traditional open surgery. By adapting laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP) principles to robotic platforms, he helped establish a new standard of care that reduces blood loss, hospital stays, and recovery times. His work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between open and minimally invasive approaches, offering patients with symptomatic BPH a less invasive option without compromising surgical outcomes. Dr. Chang’s contributions continue to influence urological practice in Asia and beyond, cementing his reputation as a leader in robotic prostate surgery.
