About
Dr. Hyunyoung Seong is a leading anesthesiologist and pain management researcher whose work focuses on optimizing postoperative analgesia, particularly in minimally invasive surgical settings. Her key research areas include opioid pharmacology, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), and the management of visceral pain following laparoscopic procedures. Dr. Seong’s major contribution lies in her pioneering investigation of the 55:1 potency ratio of oxycodone to fentanyl for PCA, a critical finding that helps clinicians tailor pain relief while minimizing adverse effects. Her most cited study, a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic gastrectomy, demonstrated that oxycodone-based PCA provides superior analgesia for visceral pain compared to fentanyl, with a comparable safety profile. This work, cited 8 times, has practical implications for enhancing recovery after surgery. Dr. Seong’s research is notable for bridging the gap between opioid receptor pharmacology and real-world clinical outcomes, offering evidence-based guidance for perioperative care. Her contributions are particularly valuable for anesthesiologists and surgeons seeking to improve patient comfort and reduce opioid-related complications in the growing field of robotic surgery.
