About
Dr. Suk‐Joon Chang is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for cervical cancer. His major contributions focus on comparing the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic, robotic, and abdominal radical hysterectomy, particularly for early-stage disease. Notably, his 2015 study on recurrence patterns after abdominal versus laparoscopic/robotic radical hysterectomy (167 citations) provided critical insights into prognostic factors and survival outcomes, helping to refine surgical decision-making. Dr. Chang has also pioneered single-site robotic and laparo-endoscopic approaches for hysterectomy and adnexal surgery, demonstrating their feasibility and improved cosmetic outcomes through propensity score-matched analyses. His ongoing SOLUTION trial (2022) addresses the critical issue of tumor spillage during minimally invasive radical hysterectomy, evaluating an endoscopic stapler technique to prevent recurrence. Additionally, his work on uterine artery-preserving radical trachelectomy offers fertility-sparing options for young patients. With over 250 cumulative citations, Dr. Chang’s research directly shapes clinical guidelines and surgical innovation in gynecologic oncology, balancing oncologic safety with the benefits of minimally invasive surgery.
