About
Young-Ju Choe is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research has significantly advanced perioperative care, particularly in optimizing antibiotic prophylaxis protocols. Her landmark multicenter trial, "A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Trial for Duration of the Prophylactic Antibiotics after Elective Colorectal Surgery," directly addressed a critical gap in Korean surgical practice by comparing 3-day versus 5-day postoperative antibiotic regimens. This work provided essential evidence that shorter courses are safe and effective, helping to reduce unnecessary antibiotic exposure and combat antimicrobial resistance. With over 5 citations, this study has informed clinical guidelines and shaped standard surgical care in Korea. Dr. Choe’s contributions extend beyond this trial; she is recognized for her expertise in colorectal cancer surgery, minimally invasive techniques, and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols. Her commitment to high-quality, evidence-based surgical research has made her a respected authority in the field, influencing both national practice and international discussions on surgical infection prevention.
