About
Youngkyung Park is a clinical researcher whose work centers on advancing perioperative pain management and surgical outcomes in thyroid and head-and-neck procedures. Her primary research areas include regional anesthesia techniques, robotic-assisted surgery, and postoperative analgesia optimization. Park’s most notable contribution is her pioneering investigation into the clinical application of the pectoralis nerve block II (PECS II) for pain control following robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy (RATT). In a landmark 2022 retrospective cohort study, she demonstrated that ultrasound-guided PECS II significantly reduces flap dissection-related pain, addressing a critical gap in postoperative care for minimally invasive thyroid surgery. This work, which has garnered 8 citations, provides a practical, evidence-based strategy to enhance patient recovery and comfort. By integrating regional anesthesia with advanced surgical techniques, Park’s research bridges anesthesiology and surgical innovation, offering tangible improvements in patient experience. Her findings are particularly valuable for clinicians seeking to refine multimodal analgesia protocols in robotic thyroidectomy, highlighting her role as a contributor to safer, more patient-centered surgical care.
