About
Dr. Dai-Lung Char is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment in Taiwan. His primary research focuses on laparoscopic and robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, particularly in adapting these complex surgical techniques to the unique epidemiological and clinical contexts of Asian populations. Dr. Char’s most notable contribution is his landmark 2008 study, which documented the initial experience of robotic laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in Taiwan. This work, cited 12 times, was crucial in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic surgery in a region with lower prostate cancer incidence than Western countries, where surgical training opportunities were scarce. By systematically reporting outcomes from 24 patients, Dr. Char provided foundational evidence that helped establish robotic surgery as a viable option in Taiwan, paving the way for broader adoption and training. His efforts have been instrumental in bridging the technological gap in urological oncology, directly impacting surgical standards and patient care in East Asia.
