About

Won Jung Shin is a leading anesthesiologist and researcher whose work centers on perioperative management in complex surgical settings, particularly living donor liver transplantation and minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Her major contributions include advancing the safety protocols for living donor liver transplantation, a critical procedure developed to address the scarcity of deceased donor organs in Asia. In her highly cited 2022 paper, "Perioperative management of living donor liver transplantation: Part 2 – Donors," Shin provides a comprehensive framework for donor care, emphasizing the importance of meticulous perioperative strategies to optimize outcomes—a work that has garnered 21 citations and is foundational for clinicians navigating this demanding field. Additionally, her 2006 case report on "Massive Carbon Dioxide Embolism during Minimally Invasive Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery" highlights her expertise in recognizing and managing rare, life-threatening complications, earning her recognition for its clinical relevance. With a career dedicated to enhancing patient safety and surgical efficacy, Shin’s research has directly influenced anesthetic practices in high-stakes transplant and robotic surgeries, making her a respected voice in perioperative medicine and a valuable resource for students and researchers seeking to understand the nuances of complex surgical care.
