About
Dr. Seok-Jun Choi is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on perioperative neuroprotection and the physiological impacts of surgical positioning. His most cited work investigates the effects of different anesthetic techniques on intracranial pressure during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Specifically, his 2018 study comparing desflurane to total intravenous anesthesia on optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD)—a validated surrogate for intracranial pressure—has garnered 21 citations, establishing a critical foundation for safer anesthetic management in steep Trendelenburg positioning. This contribution is particularly significant as RALP procedures become increasingly common, directly addressing the risk of elevated intracranial pressure and its potential neurological consequences. Beyond this landmark paper, Dr. Choi’s broader research portfolio explores anesthetic optimization in high-risk surgical contexts, demonstrating a commitment to translating physiological monitoring into actionable clinical protocols. His work has been instrumental in shaping evidence-based guidelines for anesthesiologists, balancing the demands of minimally invasive surgery with patient safety. For students and researchers, Dr. Choi exemplifies how targeted clinical research can directly improve perioperative outcomes, making him a notable figure in the field of anesthesiology and critical care.
