About
Christopher McKee is a clinical researcher whose work centers on perioperative pain management and surgical outcomes in special populations, with a particular focus on bariatric surgery in adolescents and young adults. His key research area lies at the intersection of minimally invasive surgical techniques—specifically laparoscopic versus robotic-assisted procedures—and their impact on postoperative recovery and opioid requirements. McKee’s most cited study, "Perioperative analgesic requirements in severely obese adolescents and young adults undergoing laparoscopic versus robotic-assisted gastric sleeve resection" (2015, 10 citations), addresses a critical gap in the literature by comparing analgesic needs between these two surgical approaches. This work highlights his contribution to refining perioperative care protocols, aiming to reduce opioid consumption and enhance recovery in a vulnerable patient group. While his citation count is modest, the study’s focus on a pressing clinical issue—opioid stewardship in pediatric bariatric surgery—underscores its practical significance. McKee’s research offers valuable insights for clinicians seeking evidence-based strategies to optimize pain management and improve surgical outcomes in severely obese young patients.
