About
Youn Jin Choi is a clinical researcher whose work centers on postoperative recovery optimization in gynecologic surgery, with a particular focus on reducing common complications like postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Her most-cited study, a 2024 prospective randomized controlled trial, investigates the impact of preoperative gum chewing on anti-emetic use in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for benign ovarian masses. This innovative, non-pharmacological intervention addresses a critical gap: despite standard prophylactic measures, PONV incidence remains high in female patients, delaying recovery and increasing discomfort. By demonstrating that a simple, low-cost preoperative practice can reduce reliance on rescue anti-emetics, Choi’s work offers a practical, patient-centered solution that could be easily integrated into surgical protocols. While her citation count is currently modest, her research tackles a high-volume clinical problem with immediate translational potential, positioning her as an emerging voice in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for gynecologic oncology. Her focus on robotic surgery—a rapidly expanding field—further underscores the relevance of her contributions.
