About
Dr. Yi‐Ning Chen is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of urologic oncology and ophthalmology, investigating the systemic effects of surgical positioning on ocular health. In their most cited work, a prospective clinical study, Dr. Chen pioneered the evaluation of intraocular pressure and visual function in patients with pre-existing ocular diseases undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. This research addresses a significant, often-overlooked safety concern: the impact of the steep Trendelenburg position required for robotic surgery on vulnerable eyes. By demonstrating that these procedures can be performed safely with careful monitoring, Dr. Chen’s findings have directly informed perioperative protocols, helping to prevent vision-threatening complications in a growing population of prostate cancer patients. While their work has garnered over 4 citations, its true impact lies in its translational value—bridging surgical oncology and ophthalmology to improve patient safety. Dr. Chen’s contributions are particularly notable for establishing evidence-based guidelines that allow surgeons to confidently operate on patients with glaucoma, cataracts, or other ocular conditions, ensuring that vision preservation remains a priority alongside cancer treatment.
