About
Yifan Chang is a urological surgeon and researcher specializing in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on advancing radical prostatectomy techniques. Based at a leading Chinese medical center, Chang has made significant contributions to the development and refinement of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), pioneering innovative approaches including single-port transperitoneal, extraperitoneal single-port, and robotic perineal techniques that have expanded the surgical frontier for prostate cancer treatment. His most cited work (49 citations) stands as the first systematic review and meta-analysis to separately analyze randomized controlled trials and non-randomized studies comparing RARP with laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, providing critical evidence to guide surgical decision-making globally. Chang has also contributed meaningfully to surgical education through learning curve analysis and to patient outcomes research, including functional urethral reconstruction techniques aimed at optimizing post-operative continence recovery. His investigations extend into clinical trials examining neoadjuvant radiohormonal therapy for metastatic prostate cancer and evidence-based perioperative care practices. With nearly 160 total citations across his body of work, Chang represents a productive voice in the evolving landscape of robotic urology, bridging technical innovation with rigorous clinical evidence.
