About
Dr. Young Song is a leading anesthesiology researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative care in complex surgical settings, particularly robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP). Her research addresses two critical challenges in this field: managing the inflammatory response and protecting against the physiological stresses of pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg positioning. In a landmark 2019 prospective randomized controlled study, Dr. Song demonstrated that propofol significantly attenuates the systemic inflammatory response and ischemia-reperfusion injury during RALRP, a finding with 31 citations that has influenced modern anesthetic protocols. She further advanced patient safety by investigating the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on intraocular pressure and optic nerve sheath diameter, showing that 5 cmH₂O of PEEP can mitigate dangerous increases in ocular and intracranial pressure during surgery. This work, cited 28 times, provides crucial guidance for preventing vision loss and neurological complications in patients undergoing prolonged pelvic surgery. Dr. Song’s contributions bridge anesthesiology and surgical outcomes, establishing evidence-based strategies that enhance both patient safety and recovery in minimally invasive urologic oncology.
