About
Zongmei Wen is a leading anesthesiologist and perioperative researcher whose work focuses on regional anesthesia, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), and pain management in thoracic surgery. Her most significant contribution is the landmark 2024 randomized placebo-controlled trial on bilateral low serratus anterior plane (DSAP) blocks for trans-subxiphoid robotic thymectomy. This study demonstrated that the technique significantly improves the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) score for two days postoperatively, reduces opioid consumption, and alleviates early postsurgical pain—a major advance in minimally invasive thoracic anesthesia. With 5 citations already, this work is rapidly shaping clinical guidelines. Dr. Wen’s research bridges the gap between novel nerve block techniques and measurable patient outcomes, offering a safer, opioid-sparing alternative for robotic surgeries. Her dedication to refining perioperative protocols positions her as an emerging authority in anesthesiology, with future studies likely to expand the applications of DSAP blocks across other surgical populations.
