About
Seokyung Shin is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on optimizing anesthetic techniques for robotic and laparoscopic surgeries, particularly in urological and thyroid procedures. Her major contributions center on improving patient outcomes through innovative approaches to total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and neuromuscular blockade. In a landmark 2012 prospective randomized trial (85 citations), she demonstrated that TIVA with propofol significantly reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, even in low-risk populations. Shin’s work on intraocular pressure (IOP) during steep Trendelenburg positioning is equally impactful: her 2014 study (61 citations) showed propofol causes less IOP elevation than sevoflurane, while her 2015 trial (62 citations) revealed that deep neuromuscular blockade under low-pressure conditions mitigates IOP increases during robotic prostatectomy. She has also advanced pain management, showing bilateral superficial cervical plexus block effectively reduces acute pain after robot-assisted thyroidectomy (22 citations), and explored how combined epidural-general anesthesia modulates autonomic function and nitric oxide bioavailability in pelvic surgery (25 citations). With over 250 total citations, Shin’s work has shaped evidence-based anesthesia protocols, enhancing surgical safety and recovery in minimally invasive procedures.
