About
Ming-Mei Du is a clinical researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, with a particular focus on pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD)—one of the most complex abdominal procedures. Her major contribution lies in critically evaluating preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) and its relationship to postoperative healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). In her landmark ten-year retrospective analysis (2024, 9 citations), Du demonstrated that PBD significantly influences infection rates and clinical outcomes following PD, providing surgeons with evidence-based guidance for preoperative management. This work addresses a longstanding clinical debate, offering actionable insights to reduce complications in high-risk patients. Du’s research exemplifies the translation of retrospective data into practical surgical protocols, directly impacting patient safety and recovery. Her findings have been cited by peers seeking to refine perioperative care, underscoring her role in advancing evidence-based practice. For students and researchers, Du’s work highlights the critical intersection of surgical technique, infection control, and patient-centered outcomes, making her a valuable voice in modern hepatobiliary surgery.
