About

Wei-Ming Cheng is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes in prostate and kidney cancer care. His primary research areas include the standardization of complication reporting in radical prostatectomy and the preoperative prediction of surgical complexity in robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy. Cheng’s most cited paper, "Standardized report for early complications of radical prostatectomy" (2014, 19 citations), established a framework for systematically documenting and comparing postoperative adverse events using the Martin criteria, a contribution that has helped urologists better understand and mitigate surgical risks. In a subsequent study, "Prediction of adherent perinephric fat in Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy" (2015, 3 citations), he investigated preoperative imaging markers to identify patients at higher risk for difficult dissection, aiming to reduce intraoperative complications. While his citation counts are modest, Cheng’s work reflects a commitment to evidence-based surgical quality improvement and patient safety. By focusing on reproducible reporting and risk stratification, he has provided tools that enhance clinical decision-making and foster more transparent communication of surgical outcomes within the urology community.
