About
Dr. Sang‐Ah Lee is a clinical anesthesiologist whose research focuses on improving perioperative outcomes in urologic surgery, particularly through the management of catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD). Her most-cited work, a 2019 randomized controlled trial published in a high-impact journal, rigorously evaluated the efficacy of ketorolac for preventing CRBD in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). This study, with 30 citations, demonstrated that a single dose of ketorolac significantly reduced the incidence and severity of CRBD, providing a simple, cost-effective solution to a common and distressing postoperative complication. By directly addressing a gap in patient comfort during recovery, Dr. Lee’s research has influenced clinical protocols in robotic surgery. Her work exemplifies how targeted, evidence-based interventions can enhance the patient experience and reduce opioid reliance in the perioperative setting. Dr. Lee’s contributions are a valuable resource for anesthesiologists and urologists seeking to optimize recovery after minimally invasive prostate surgery.
