About
Dr. Wenju Chang is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic surgery for rectal cancer. Her work centers on comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgical approaches to improve patient outcomes, particularly for low rectal cancer and complex cases involving liver metastases. Dr. Chang’s major contributions include conducting pivotal randomized controlled trials—such as the single-center trial comparing robotic versus laparoscopic abdominoperineal resections (54 citations) and the trial comparing robotic versus open surgery for simultaneous resection of rectal cancer and liver metastases (37 citations). Her landmark study reporting real-world outcomes from 1,145 consecutive robotic rectal resections in China (24 citations) provided critical safety and efficacy data. She has also pioneered innovative techniques like robotic natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) and the “trinity technique” to prevent anastomotic leakage. With multiple highly cited publications and a focus on reducing surgical trauma while improving long-term outcomes, Dr. Chang’s work is shaping the future of minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
