About

Dr. Jennifer Yeung is a leading investigator in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, with a focused expertise in optimizing perioperative outcomes for minimally invasive gynecologic procedures. Her research centers on pain management and surgical recovery, particularly through the application of advanced regional analgesia. Dr. Yeung’s most impactful contribution is her landmark randomized, patient-blinded, placebo-controlled trial on liposomal bupivacaine during robotic sacrocolpopexy with posterior repair. This pivotal study, cited 32 times, rigorously evaluated the effect of long-acting local anesthetic on postoperative pain, providing crucial evidence for enhanced recovery protocols in complex pelvic reconstructive surgery. Her work directly addresses the clinical challenge of reducing opioid reliance while improving patient comfort after major robotic procedures. By demonstrating the efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine in this specific surgical context, Dr. Yeung has helped shape evidence-based pain management strategies that benefit thousands of women undergoing pelvic floor repair. Her research is distinguished by its methodologically rigorous, patient-centered approach, bridging the gap between surgical innovation and tangible improvements in postoperative quality of life.
