About
Dr. Loes Janssen is a leading researcher in perioperative medicine and surgical optimization, with a primary focus on prehabilitation—the process of enhancing a patient’s functional capacity before surgery. Her most impactful work, the landmark 2023 study "Effect of Multimodal Prehabilitation on Reducing Postoperative Complications and Enhancing Functional Capacity Following Colorectal Cancer Surgery," has garnered 429 citations. This pivotal research demonstrated that a structured program of exercise, nutritional support, and psychological preparation before colorectal cancer surgery significantly reduces postoperative complications and improves recovery. By shifting the surgical paradigm from reactive care to proactive patient optimization, Dr. Janssen’s contributions have directly influenced clinical guidelines and improved outcomes for thousands of patients. Her work underscores the critical importance of preparing the body and mind for the stress of surgery, making her a key figure in advancing evidence-based prehabilitation protocols. Dr. Janssen’s research continues to shape how surgeons and anesthesiologists approach high-risk procedures, ultimately enhancing functional recovery and quality of life for surgical patients.
