About
Sung Jin Lee is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of anesthesiology, perioperative medicine, and minimally invasive surgical procedures. His most recognized contribution examines the role of thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) combined with general anesthesia in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy — a technically demanding procedure that presents unique anesthetic challenges due to high-pressure pneumoperitoneum and extreme Trendelenburg positioning. With 34 citations, this 2009 study has established itself as a meaningful reference point for clinicians seeking to optimize intraoperative ventilation and oxygenation while minimizing postoperative pulmonary complications in urological robotic surgery. Lee's research addresses a practical and clinically significant question: how regional anesthetic techniques can complement general anesthesia to improve patient outcomes in complex laparoscopic environments. His work appeals to both anesthesiologists navigating the physiological demands of robotic surgery and surgical teams focused on reducing perioperative morbidity. For students and researchers in anesthesiology or perioperative care, Lee's scholarship offers a focused, evidence-based perspective on refining multimodal anesthetic strategies for increasingly prevalent robot-assisted procedures.
