Sheng‐Wei Chang

About

Sheng‐Wei Chang is a surgeon-researcher advancing the field of robotic surgery, with a focus on minimally invasive techniques for colorectal conditions. His key research areas include robotic suturing skill acquisition and robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS). Chang’s major contributions center on evaluating gender differences in robotic surgical training—his 2019 study on suturing skills with the da Vinci system (26 citations) provides critical insights for addressing workforce diversity in surgery. He has also pioneered the application of robotic TAMIS for rectal lesions, including neuroendocrine tumors and rectal cancer after complete response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation (12 citations). His work demonstrates that robotic TAMIS offers a less aggressive alternative with promising oncological outcomes, supported by video vignettes that enhance surgical education. With over 50 total citations, Chang’s research directly impacts surgical training and patient care, bridging technical innovation with practical clinical applications. His studies are essential reading for trainees and practitioners interested in robotic surgery, gender equity in medicine, and transanal approaches to rectal disease.
