About
Seong Yoon Koh is an anesthesiologist whose research focuses on optimizing perioperative care, particularly in the context of robotic and laparoscopic surgery. Dr. Koh’s key contributions center on the use of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) as a non-invasive surrogate for intracranial pressure (ICP) during anesthesia. In a landmark 2022 randomized controlled trial, Dr. Koh compared the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on ONSD in women undergoing robot-assisted gynecologic surgery, a procedure known to elevate ICP due to extreme Trendelenburg positioning. This study, which has garnered 15 citations, provided critical evidence that anesthetic choice can significantly influence cerebral hemodynamics, offering practical guidance for safer anesthetic management in high-risk surgical settings. By bridging the gap between clinical anesthesiology and neuro-monitoring, Dr. Koh’s work has enhanced understanding of how common anesthetics affect the brain during minimally invasive procedures. Their research is particularly valuable for anesthesiologists, intensivists, and surgeons seeking to mitigate neurological risks in patients undergoing prolonged laparoscopic or robotic surgeries.
