About
Denise Yeung is a prominent colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes through evidence-based risk stratification. Her landmark systematic review and meta-analysis on C-reactive protein as a predictor of anastomotic leak in colorectal surgery, cited over 100 times, has become a cornerstone for postoperative monitoring, helping clinicians identify complications earlier and reduce patient morbidity. Beyond this, Yeung has contributed significantly to understanding the role of inflammatory markers in surgical recovery, advancing protocols that integrate biomarker data into clinical decision-making. Her research is widely recognized for its rigor and direct clinical applicability, influencing guidelines and practice patterns in colorectal surgery globally. Yeung’s work exemplifies how translational research can bridge laboratory findings and bedside care, earning her a reputation as a key voice in surgical quality improvement. For students and researchers, her studies offer a model of how meta-analytic methods can synthesize evidence to drive tangible changes in patient safety and surgical outcomes.
