About
Jeong Eun Lee is a leading researcher in anesthesiology and perioperative pain management, with a primary focus on developing opioid-sparing strategies for surgical patients. Her most notable contribution is the design and execution of a landmark randomized, non-inferiority trial comparing a Non-Opioid Multimodal Analgesia (NOMA) protocol against traditional opioid-based patient-controlled analgesia following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This study, published in 2023 and already cited 9 times, directly addresses the critical public health challenge of the opioid epidemic by demonstrating that effective pain control can be achieved without reliance on opioids. Lee’s work provides a rigorous, evidence-based framework for minimizing opioid exposure in the perioperative setting, offering a safer alternative that reduces the risk of postoperative opioid dependence. Her research is particularly impactful for urological surgeries, where her protocols are gaining traction as a new standard of care. By championing multimodal analgesia, Jeong Eun Lee is helping to reshape postoperative pain management, balancing patient comfort with the urgent need for opioid stewardship.
