About
Dr. Kwang Yeong How is a colorectal surgeon whose research advances the frontiers of minimally invasive surgery and perioperative care. His work centers on two critical areas: pushing the boundaries of surgical technique for advanced rectal cancer and optimizing patient recovery through Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. Dr. How’s landmark 2024 study on minimally invasive multivisceral resection for T4b rectal cancer, with 10 citations, demonstrates the feasibility and safety of a complex procedure traditionally performed open, offering hope for patients with locally advanced disease. His 2021 investigation into acute kidney injury within ERAS programs for colorectal surgery, cited 9 times, provides vital insights into risk factors and outcomes, directly improving patient safety in modern surgical pathways. By tackling both the technical challenges of advanced cancer and the systemic vulnerabilities of perioperative care, Dr. How’s research has a tangible impact on surgical practice and patient outcomes. His work, conducted at a major Singapore tertiary hospital, positions him as a key contributor to evidence-based, patient-centered colorectal surgery.
