About
Dr. Betina Campero is a leading clinical researcher in perioperative medicine and surgical oncology, with a primary focus on optimizing patient outcomes through prehabilitation. Her most cited work, a 2023 study on multimodal prehabilitation for colorectal cancer surgery (429 citations), has fundamentally reshaped preoperative care by demonstrating that targeted exercise, nutritional support, and psychological preparation before surgery can significantly reduce postoperative complications and preserve functional capacity. This landmark paper established prehabilitation as a standard of care, challenging traditional models of surgical readiness. Dr. Campero’s research bridges the critical gap between surgical technique and patient physiology, emphasizing that a patient’s condition in the weeks before an operation is as vital as the procedure itself. Her contributions have been widely adopted in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols worldwide, directly impacting thousands of patients. By proving that proactive, multidisciplinary preparation can mitigate the debilitating effects of major cancer surgery, Dr. Campero has positioned herself as a pioneer in transforming surgical recovery from a reactive to a preventive paradigm.
