About
Dong-Ho Kim is a pioneering surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive thyroid surgery, with a particular focus on optimizing perioperative pain management and surgical outcomes. His most cited work, a prospective randomized controlled trial, investigates the efficacy of ketamine infusion during bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) robotic or endoscopic thyroidectomy—a technique prized for its cosmetic benefits but challenged by significant postoperative pain due to extensive tissue dissection. By demonstrating that ketamine can mitigate this discomfort, Kim has addressed a critical barrier to patient recovery and satisfaction, directly improving the clinical viability of these innovative procedures. With over 15 citations, this study underscores his impact on refining surgical protocols. Kim’s contributions bridge the gap between advanced surgical technology and patient-centered care, offering evidence-based solutions that enhance both procedural safety and quality of life. His work is essential reading for researchers and clinicians exploring robotic and endoscopic approaches, as it provides a foundation for integrating analgesic strategies into modern thyroid surgery.
