About
Zhanlong Shen is a dedicated colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the functional outcomes and quality of life after rectal cancer surgery. His primary research areas include postoperative sexual dysfunction, autonomic nerve preservation, and the optimization of surgical techniques to minimize complications. Shen’s most cited paper, a comprehensive review on sexual dysfunction following rectal cancer surgery, highlights the alarmingly high incidence—ranging from 5% to 90%—and underscores the critical role of the abdominal-pelvic autonomic nerve in sexual function. This work has been instrumental in raising awareness among surgeons about the need for nerve-sparing approaches and has garnered attention for its detailed analysis of gender-specific outcomes. While his citation count is still growing, Shen’s contributions are significant for their focus on a sensitive yet often overlooked aspect of cancer survivorship. His research bridges the gap between surgical oncology and patient-centered care, making him a key voice in improving postoperative recovery and long-term well-being for rectal cancer patients.
