About
Cha Kyong Yom is a leading anesthesiologist and pain management researcher whose work centers on optimizing perioperative care, particularly in the context of minimally invasive and robotic surgeries. Her major contributions lie in advancing regional anesthesia techniques to enhance postoperative recovery and reduce opioid reliance. In a landmark prospective, randomized, controlled trial, she demonstrated that spraying 0.25% levobupivacaine during bilateral axillo-breast approach robotic thyroidectomy significantly improves pain control, a finding that has guided clinical protocols and garnered 17 citations. This study underscores her commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered outcomes. Beyond this, Dr. Yom’s research portfolio explores innovative analgesic strategies and perioperative safety, making her a key figure in the evolution of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways. Her work is widely referenced by surgeons and anesthesiologists seeking to refine pain management in robotic procedures. For students and researchers, Dr. Yom exemplifies how targeted, high-impact studies can translate directly into improved surgical experiences, offering a model for bridging clinical practice and rigorous investigation.
