About
Eun Kyeong Choi is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on optimizing anesthetic techniques for minimally invasive surgeries, particularly in urology and robotic procedures. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of how total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol can improve patient outcomes. In a landmark prospective randomized trial (85 citations), Choi demonstrated that TIVA with propofol dramatically reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, even among those at low risk—a finding that has reshaped perioperative care protocols. She further explored the physiological impacts of surgical positioning, showing in a highly cited study (61 citations) that propofol-based anesthesia results in less intraocular pressure elevation than sevoflurane during steep Trendelenburg positioning, a critical insight for preventing ocular complications in lengthy laparoscopic procedures. Choi’s work bridges the gap between anesthetic pharmacology and surgical ergonomics, providing evidence-based guidance that enhances both patient safety and comfort. Her contributions are widely recognized in the anesthesiology community, making her a key figure in the evolution of tailored anesthetic regimens for complex surgeries.
