About

Dr. Pao-Ling Torng is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex uterine pathologies, particularly in endometrial cancer and large myomas. Her work has been instrumental in characterizing the learning curves associated with concurrent laparoscopic and robotic-assisted hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy for endometrial cancer staging. In her highly cited 2017 study (17 citations), Dr. Torng demonstrated the feasibility and safety of integrating these two modalities during the initial learning period, providing critical guidance for surgeons adopting robotic platforms. She further expanded the boundaries of robotic surgery with her 2018 investigation (14 citations) into robotic myomectomy for large uterine myomas, proving that even substantial fibroids can be managed effectively with robotic assistance, yielding excellent surgical outcomes. Through her retrospective cohort studies conducted at a tertiary care referral hospital, Dr. Torng has established herself as a key contributor to the evidence base supporting robotic gynecologic surgery. Her work not only validates the efficacy of these advanced techniques but also helps define best practices for surgical training and patient selection, making her a respected voice in the field of minimally invasive gynecology.
