About
Dr. Jenny Chang is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work focuses on disparities in access to minimally invasive surgery and comparative effectiveness of surgical techniques for large renal masses. Her most cited study, "Comparison of Perioperative Outcomes for Radical Nephrectomy Based on Surgical Approach for Masses Greater Than 10 cm" (2021, 4 citations), addresses a critical gap in urologic oncology by evaluating whether robot-assisted radical nephrectomy offers objective benefits over laparoscopic approaches for very large tumors, challenging assumptions about cost and utility. In her earlier influential work, "Disparities in Access to Minimally Invasive Surgery for Women Undergoing Hysterectomy in California" (2014, 2 citations), Dr. Chang conducted a retrospective population-based analysis revealing how race and demographic variables significantly impact access to minimally invasive hysterectomy. This study has been foundational for understanding healthcare inequities in surgical care. Dr. Chang’s research uniquely bridges surgical technique evaluation with health services research, providing evidence that informs both clinical decision-making and health policy. Her contributions are particularly valuable for surgeons and healthcare administrators seeking to improve equitable access to advanced surgical technologies while ensuring their appropriate utilization.
