About
Sang Eon Oh is a leading anesthesiologist and pain management researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative analgesia for minimally invasive surgical procedures. His most influential research addresses the significant challenge of pain control following single-incision transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy (START), a procedure that causes substantial tissue disruption and moderate-to-severe postoperative pain. Oh’s landmark 2016 study, cited 13 times, pioneered the investigation of ultrasound-guided serratus-intercostal plane block and intermediate cervical plexus block for this specific surgery. By comparing these two regional anesthesia techniques, he provided critical evidence on effective, targeted pain management strategies that reduce opioid reliance and improve patient recovery. This work has established Oh as a key contributor to the field of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, particularly for head, neck, and thoracic surgeries. His research not only advances clinical practice by offering safer, more effective analgesic options but also serves as a foundational reference for anesthesiologists seeking to enhance postoperative outcomes in robotic thyroidectomy patients.
