About
Susie Yoon is a leading anesthesiology researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative respiratory care and anesthetic techniques for minimally invasive surgery. Her major contributions center on two pivotal areas: individualized ventilation strategies and comparative anesthetic outcomes. In her landmark 2021 randomized controlled trial, Yoon demonstrated that personalized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) significantly reduces postoperative atelectasis in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy—a procedure notorious for impairing respiratory mechanics due to pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg positioning. This study, with 20 citations, has shaped clinical guidelines for intraoperative lung protection. More recently, her 2023 trial compared propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) to desflurane in minimally invasive nephrectomy, providing critical evidence on recovery quality. With a growing citation impact, Yoon’s work bridges the gap between complex surgical demands and patient-centered recovery, earning her recognition as a key voice in perioperative medicine. Her research continues to influence anesthesiology practice, particularly in high-risk, robot-assisted surgeries.
