About

Dr. Y. Nancy You is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques for colorectal cancer, with a particular focus on improving patient recovery and oncologic outcomes. Her landmark work includes the RecoverMI trial, a randomized clinical study demonstrating that accelerated enhanced recovery protocols combined with minimally invasive surgery can significantly shorten hospital stays and improve postoperative recovery, accumulating 78 citations. Dr. You has been instrumental in expanding the role of robotic surgery, showing through her research that its adoption has driven a notable rise in minimally invasive procedures for colorectal cancer. She has also pioneered complex robotic approaches, including extended resections for rectal cancer, lateral pelvic lymph node dissections after chemoradiation, and en bloc multivisceral resections, achieving 65 and 18 citations respectively. Her innovative "pelvis-first" technique for robotic proctectomy addresses challenging anatomical scenarios. With over 100 citations across her most-cited works, Dr. You's contributions have established her as a key figure in robotic colorectal surgery, directly shaping clinical practice and setting new standards for perioperative care and surgical precision in oncology.
