About
Dong Hwan Lee is a clinical researcher whose work centers on postoperative care and pain management in urological surgery, with a particular focus on optimizing recovery outcomes for bladder cancer patients undergoing radical cystectomy. His most notable contribution examines the use of ketorolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), administered via patient-controlled intravenous infusion analgesia (PCIA) as an alternative analgesic strategy following this complex surgical procedure. By investigating how NSAID-based pain control influences early bowel function recovery — a critical marker of postoperative recuperation — Lee's research addresses a clinically meaningful challenge in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols. His 2018 study, which has accumulated 10 citations, reflects growing interest in multimodal analgesia approaches that seek to minimize opioid reliance while preserving gastrointestinal function in the immediate postoperative period. Through this work, Lee contributes to the broader conversation around improving patient quality of life and shortening hospital stays following radical cystectomy, offering practical, evidence-based insights that are directly applicable to urological and anesthesiological clinical practice.
