About
Dr. Hyong Woo Moon is a leading researcher in urologic surgery and perioperative pain management, with a focus on optimizing outcomes for robot-assisted laparoscopic procedures. His major contributions center on developing and comparing multimodal analgesic strategies—including intrathecal morphine with bupivacaine, rectus sheath blocks, and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia—to reduce postoperative pain in patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). His work has demonstrated that intrathecal morphine and bupivacaine provide superior early pain relief, while rectus sheath blocks offer effective, targeted analgesia. Dr. Moon has also advanced the field of single-port robotic surgery, pioneering techniques for extraperitoneal single-port radical prostatectomy and transperitoneal versus retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy. His research on robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction for kidney transplant patients highlights his commitment to minimally invasive solutions for complex urologic complications. With several papers garnering 15–22 citations, his studies are widely referenced for their rigorous prospective designs and practical clinical implications. Dr. Moon’s innovative analgesic bundles, incorporating dexmedetomidine and ketorolac, further underscore his dedication to enhancing patient recovery and surgical outcomes.
