About
Hye-Min Sohn is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on optimizing perioperative care in minimally invasive and robotic surgeries. Her work centers on two critical areas: intracranial pressure management during robotic-assisted procedures and the prevention of airway complications in thyroid surgery. In a landmark 2018 study, Sohn demonstrated that total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) better controls optic nerve sheath diameter—a surrogate for intracranial pressure—compared to desflurane during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomies in steep Trendelenburg position, a finding with 21 citations that has influenced anesthetic protocols for high-risk patients. Her 2019 prospective randomized trial, with 12 citations, provided the first robust evidence that adjusting endotracheal tube cuff pressure during scarless remote access endoscopic and robotic thyroidectomy significantly reduces laryngo-pharyngeal complications, improving patient recovery and satisfaction. By bridging the gap between surgical innovation and anesthetic safety, Sohn’s contributions have enhanced the safety profile of complex robotic surgeries, directly impacting clinical guidelines and patient outcomes. Her meticulous, evidence-based approach continues to shape modern perioperative medicine.
