About
Jun Hyuk Hong is a clinician-researcher whose work spans anesthesiology, urology, and perioperative medicine, with a particular focus on the physiological consequences of surgical positioning and minimally invasive urological procedures. He has made significant contributions to understanding how intracranial pressure (ICP) changes during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), a procedure requiring both CO₂ pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg positioning. Using sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) as a non-invasive surrogate for ICP, Hong and colleagues demonstrated that this positioning elevates ICP and, critically, that anesthetic agents such as propofol and dexmedetomidine can mitigate these increases — findings that have collectively garnered over 140 citations. His most-cited work (2015, 65 citations) established ONSD measurement as a reliable intraoperative monitoring tool. Beyond neurophysiology, Hong has advanced perioperative urological care, investigating catheter-related bladder discomfort prevention with ketorolac, tamsulosin's role in post-prostatectomy urinary retention, and comparative outcomes across open, laparoscopic, and robotic partial nephrectomy approaches. His interdisciplinary research provides clinically actionable insights that directly improve patient safety and postoperative outcomes in complex urological surgery.
