About
Dr. Choon Hak Lim is a distinguished anesthesiologist whose research centers on perioperative renal function, surgical outcomes in urologic oncology, and the physiological impacts of pneumoperitoneum during robotic-assisted surgery. His most cited work, "Postoperative renal function in patients is unaltered after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy" (2011, 16 citations), provides critical insight into the safety of high intra-abdominal pressures required for robotic procedures. This study challenged prevailing concerns by demonstrating that despite pressures exceeding 15 mmHg, renal function remained stable postoperatively—a finding that has informed clinical protocols for robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy worldwide. Dr. Lim’s contributions bridge the gap between surgical innovation and anesthetic management, ensuring patient safety in minimally invasive oncology. His work has been recognized for its practical implications in high-volume surgical centers, and he continues to influence best practices in perioperative care. With a career dedicated to evidence-based anesthesia, Dr. Lim remains a key figure in advancing our understanding of how surgical techniques affect organ function.
