About

Benjamin Chu is a clinician-researcher whose work centers on perioperative pain management and enhanced recovery after surgery, with a particular focus on head and neck oncology. His most-cited study, "Stellate Ganglion Blockade for Acute Pain Management After Transoral Robotic Surgery" (2025), investigates the use of SGB as an adjunctive analgesic for pharyngeal surgical site pain following TORS—a procedure often associated with significant postoperative discomfort. By evaluating outcomes in patients undergoing TORS and neck dissection for oropharyngeal carcinoma, Chu has contributed to the growing evidence base for regional anesthesia techniques in complex surgical settings. His work addresses a critical gap in pain control for this population, aiming to reduce opioid reliance and improve recovery quality. Though early in his citation trajectory, his research signals a promising impact on clinical protocols for head and neck cancer surgery. Chu’s focus on translating interventional pain management into oncologic care highlights his commitment to patient-centered outcomes and multidisciplinary collaboration.
