About

Dr. Wenjeng Li is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing nerve-sparing techniques in robotic prostatectomy. His major contribution lies in pioneering intraoperative periprostatic nerve action potential monitoring—a real-time electrophysiological mapping approach designed to preserve erectile function during radical prostatectomy. This innovation, detailed in his highly cited 2014 study presented at the Journal of Urology, represents a significant leap in functional outcomes for prostate cancer patients. By integrating neurophysiological feedback into robotic surgery, Dr. Li has helped bridge the gap between oncologic control and quality of life. His research has garnered over 2,000 citations, reflecting its profound impact on urologic oncology and surgical practice. Dr. Li’s work has been recognized with multiple institutional awards for clinical innovation, and he continues to refine intraoperative nerve monitoring protocols. For students and researchers, his contributions exemplify how translational research can directly enhance surgical precision and patient recovery.
