About
Dr. Eun Hwa Jun is a leading anesthesiologist and perioperative pain management researcher whose work focuses on optimizing multimodal analgesia for minimally invasive surgeries. Her key research areas include regional anesthesia techniques, opioid-sparing protocols, and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways. Dr. Jun’s most impactful contribution is the development of an intraoperative multimodal analgesic bundle combining dexmedetomidine and ketorolac, which significantly improves pain control and reduces opioid consumption following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. Her landmark 2021 study, cited 7 times, demonstrated that patients receiving rectus sheath blocks alongside this bundled therapy experienced superior analgesia and faster recovery. This work addresses a critical gap—despite the minimally invasive nature of robotic surgery, postoperative pain remains substantial. Dr. Jun’s findings have influenced clinical protocols in urologic anesthesia, highlighting the synergy between regional blocks and pharmacologic adjuvants. Her research underscores a shift toward personalized, multimodal approaches that minimize opioid-related side effects while enhancing patient comfort. As a clinician-scientist, Dr. Jun continues to refine perioperative care, bridging the gap between surgical innovation and evidence-based pain management.
