About
Young Joo Na is a clinician-researcher whose work centers on perioperative medicine, with a particular focus on acute kidney injury (AKI) following major abdominal surgeries. Her most-cited study, “Predictive factors of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing rectal surgery” (2016), critically examined how evolving surgical techniques—from open to robot-assisted approaches—still carry significant risk for postoperative AKI. By comparing AKI incidence across different surgical modalities, Na identified key predictive factors that help stratify patient risk, offering actionable insights for perioperative management. This work has accumulated 27 citations, reflecting its practical relevance to surgeons and anesthesiologists aiming to reduce renal complications. Na’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient safety, highlighting that even advanced techniques require vigilant monitoring of renal function. Her contributions underscore the importance of individualized risk assessment in modern surgical care, making her a valuable voice in the ongoing effort to improve outcomes for patients undergoing complex colorectal procedures.
