About
Seong‐Sik Cho is a clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of anesthesiology, perioperative medicine, and minimally invasive surgery. His research has made meaningful contributions to understanding how intraoperative conditions affect intracranial pressure (ICP), particularly in the context of robot-assisted laparoscopic procedures. Cho has focused on a clinically important challenge: patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) are placed in steep Trendelenburg positioning with pneumoperitoneum, a combination known to elevate ICP and pose potential neurological risks. His most influential work, garnering 32 citations, demonstrated that propofol-based anesthesia attenuates increases in sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) — a non-invasive ICP surrogate — compared to sevoflurane during RALP, offering practical guidance for anesthetic selection. A closely related randomized controlled trial (25 citations) further examined how positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) compounds ICP elevation in this surgical setting. Together, these studies have meaningfully shaped perioperative decision-making for patients undergoing robotic urological surgery. Cho has also extended his interests to patient-reported outcomes following robot-assisted hysterectomy, reflecting a broader commitment to improving both safety and patient experience in robotic surgical care.
