About
Young Jun Oh is a leading anesthesiologist whose research centers on optimizing perioperative care for minimally invasive robotic surgeries, with a particular focus on ventilation strategies, anesthetic techniques, and pain management. His most impactful work compares pressure-controlled versus volume-controlled ventilation in challenging surgical positions—such as the steep Trendelenburg position for robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (104 citations) and the prone position for esophagectomy (48 citations)—demonstrating how tailored ventilation can improve patient outcomes. Oh has also advanced our understanding of combined epidural and general anesthesia, showing its effects on autonomic function and diaphragmatic recovery after laparoscopic pelvic surgery. His clinical investigations extend to postoperative analgesia, notably through a randomized trial establishing the efficacy of bilateral superficial cervical plexus block for reducing pain after robotic thyroidectomy (22 citations). With over 260 cumulative citations, Oh’s contributions have helped shape safer anesthetic protocols for complex robotic procedures, directly impacting surgical recovery and patient safety.
