About
Min Suk Chae is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of anesthesiology, perioperative pain management, and minimally invasive robotic surgery. His research has focused primarily on optimizing analgesic strategies for patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic procedures, particularly prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, and thyroidectomy. Chae has made significant contributions by systematically comparing regional anesthesia techniques — including intrathecal morphine with bupivacaine, rectus sheath blockade, and pectoralis nerve blocks — against conventional intravenous patient-controlled analgesia, demonstrating meaningful improvements in early postoperative pain control and recovery outcomes. His work has collectively garnered over 90 citations, reflecting its relevance to a growing surgical field where pain management protocols remain incompletely standardized. Beyond analgesia, Chae has investigated broader perioperative concerns, including intraoperative blood viscosity changes in steep Trendelenburg positioning, the anti-inflammatory effects of perioperative lidocaine on neutrophil extracellular trapping, renal function recovery through multimodal bundle therapy, and the novel application of preoperative gum chewing to reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting. His body of work offers clinically actionable insights for anesthesiologists and surgeons seeking to refine care pathways in robotic surgery.
