About
Dr. Hyungseok Seo is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on the perioperative management of patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery, particularly prostatectomy. His work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how the steep Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum affect cerebral and pulmonary physiology. Dr. Seo’s most influential study, with 65 citations, demonstrated that sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) can serve as a non-invasive surrogate for intracranial pressure in anesthetized patients, providing critical safety insights for this common surgical positioning. He further pioneered the use of dynamic arterial elastance to predict arterial pressure response to fluid challenges during these procedures (32 citations), directly improving hemodynamic management. In a landmark retrospective analysis of 2,208 patients (29 citations), he identified key risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications, establishing evidence-based guidelines for patient selection and care. His meticulous investigation into tracheal cuff shape and intracuff pressure changes has also enhanced airway safety protocols. Dr. Seo’s integrated approach—combining innovative monitoring techniques with large-scale clinical data—has made him a pivotal figure in robotic surgery anesthesia, directly translating to safer patient outcomes in this rapidly evolving field.
