Dr. Manfred Chiang specializes in general and bariatric surgery with Ascension Medical Group Wisconsin. In September 2024, Dr. Chiang performed his 2,000th robotic-assisted surgery at Ascension SE Wisconsin Hospital – Elmbrook Campus in Brookfield.
“This accomplishment highlights Dr. Chiang’s continued leadership in robotic surgery and solidifies his position as one of the most experienced robotic surgeons in Wisconsin,” said Kurt Schley, president of Ascension Elmbrook Hospital.
“Since Ascension Elmbrook introduced robotic surgery in 2009, more than 7,700 robotic procedures have been performed at the hospital. Dr. Chiang has been instrumental in making this cutting-edge technology an integral part of the hospital’s surgical services,” Schley said.
Chiang was chosen by Intuitive, the maker of the da Vinci surgical robotic system, to train other surgeons in his community and nationwide. Ascension Elmbrook is one of only two Intuitive robotic surgery bariatric teaching sites in Wisconsin.
“Dr. Chiang is at the forefront of adopting advanced surgical technologies, including minimally invasive and robotic techniques,” Schley said.
