About
Eun-Su Choi is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on optimizing perioperative care for patients undergoing robotic and minimally invasive surgeries. Her work addresses critical challenges in robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) and robotic thyroidectomy, particularly the physiological stresses induced by steep Trendelenburg positioning and high CO₂ insufflation. Choi’s most-cited study (49 citations) demonstrated that recruitment manoeuvres significantly reduce perioperative pulmonary complications in elderly patients undergoing RARP. She also pioneered the use of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) as a surrogate marker for intracranial pressure during RALP, comparing desflurane and total intravenous anesthesia (21 citations). Her randomized trial on endotracheal tube cuff pressure adjustment during scarless robotic thyroidectomy (12 citations) provided evidence-based strategies to prevent laryngo-pharyngeal complications. Additionally, Choi investigated nefopam’s anticholinergic effects to alleviate catheter-related bladder discomfort in robotic nephrectomy patients (6 citations). Her contributions have advanced ventilatory management, intracranial pressure monitoring, and postoperative comfort in robotic surgery, impacting both clinical practice and patient outcomes.
