About

Dr. Yaya Wang is a distinguished anesthesiologist and perioperative researcher whose work centers on regional anesthesia techniques and postoperative pain management in gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary surgery. Her major contributions include pioneering the application of ultrasound-guided bilateral transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks for laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery, demonstrating significant analgesic benefits that reduce opioid consumption and enhance recovery. Dr. Wang has also investigated the prevention and management of postcholecystectomy bile duct injury (BDI), a devastating iatrogenic complication that profoundly impacts patient quality of life and healthcare costs. Her research on BDI has helped clarify risk factors and optimal surgical strategies, contributing to safer laparoscopic cholecystectomy practices. With over 2,000 citations across her body of work, Dr. Wang’s studies are widely referenced in clinical guidelines for perioperative care. Notably, her 2023 paper on TAP blocks in gastric cancer surgery has already garnered attention for its practical implications in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols. Dr. Wang’s dedication to improving surgical outcomes through evidence-based anesthetic techniques continues to shape modern perioperative medicine.
