About
Dr. Yih‐Jong Chern is a colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for rectal cancer, particularly through minimally invasive approaches. His major contribution is a comprehensive meta-analysis comparing transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LapTME), published in 2025. This work synthesizes evidence to address the persistent challenge of achieving optimal oncologic and functional results in locally advanced rectal cancer. While his most-cited paper has garnered 2 citations to date, it represents a timely and clinically relevant synthesis that informs surgical decision-making. Dr. Chern’s research is notable for its focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques, aiming to reduce morbidity and improve recovery for patients. His work contributes to the evolving landscape of colorectal surgery, where transanal approaches offer potential advantages in visualization and dissection for difficult pelvic anatomy. As a researcher, Dr. Chern demonstrates a commitment to evidence-based practice, providing valuable insights for surgeons and trainees navigating the complexities of rectal cancer management.
