About
Kwan Woong Choi is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on perioperative pain management and enhanced recovery after surgery. His most cited work, a randomized, double-blinded, controlled study published in 2016, investigates the effects of intravenous lidocaine infusions on recovery quality and chronic pain following robotic thyroidectomy. This landmark study, with 45 citations, demonstrated that systemic lidocaine significantly improves postoperative recovery and reduces persistent pain, offering a non-opioid strategy for surgical patients. Choi’s contributions are pivotal in advancing evidence-based protocols that minimize opioid reliance and enhance patient outcomes in minimally invasive procedures. His research has been widely referenced by clinicians and researchers seeking safer, more effective perioperative care. Through rigorous clinical trials, Choi continues to shape modern anesthetic practice, emphasizing the importance of multimodal analgesia in improving both short-term recovery and long-term pain trajectories.
