About

Yonatan Reuven is a clinician-researcher whose work centers on improving perioperative safety in otorhinolaryngology–head and neck surgery, with a particular focus on venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention. His most cited study, "Implementation of a Novel Protocol for Preventing Venous Thromboembolism in Otolaryngology Patients" (2021, 5 citations), addresses a critical gap in postoperative care by adapting the validated Caprini risk assessment model (CRAM) specifically for otolaryngology patients. This work demonstrates that even low-risk surgical populations benefit from standardized VTE prophylaxis, offering a practical, evidence-based framework that reduces preventable morbidity and mortality. By tailoring a widely used risk stratification tool to the unique needs of head and neck surgery, Reuven has contributed to safer surgical practices and helped bridge the gap between general surgical guidelines and specialty-specific care. His research underscores the importance of protocol-driven prevention in otolaryngology, providing a model that can be adopted across institutions to improve patient outcomes.
