Yi-Min Lv

About

Yi-Min Lv is a leading colorectal surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes and quality of life for rectal cancer patients. His primary research areas include low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), surgical strategy optimization, and preoperative risk prediction. Lv’s major contribution is the clinical validation and application of the preoperative LARS score (POLARS) in China, a tool that allows surgeons to predict bowel dysfunction before surgery and tailor operative approaches accordingly. His 2024 study, "Evaluation of surgical strategy for low anterior resection syndrome using preoperative low anterior resection syndrome score in China," has garnered 2 citations in its early publication stage and represents a paradigm shift toward personalized, function-preserving surgery. By integrating POLARS into preoperative planning, Lv has helped reduce the incidence of severe LARS and improved patient counseling. His work bridges the gap between oncologic radicality and postoperative quality of life, making him a key figure in modern colorectal surgery. Lv’s research is essential reading for surgeons and trainees seeking evidence-based strategies to minimize long-term morbidity after rectal cancer resection.
