About
Jin-Young Hwang is a leading anesthesiologist and pain management researcher, whose work centers on perioperative analgesia and anesthetic techniques for minimally invasive surgeries. His key research areas include optimizing pain control in robotic and endoscopic thyroidectomy, with a particular focus on the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). Hwang’s major contributions involve pioneering the use of ketamine infusions to mitigate postoperative pain in these procedures, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2016 prospective, randomized, controlled trial, which has garnered 15 citations. This study addressed a critical gap by showing that ketamine reduces pain scores and opioid consumption, improving recovery outcomes in patients undergoing extensive tissue dissection. Beyond this, Hwang has advanced understanding of multimodal analgesia strategies, enhancing patient comfort and safety in complex surgeries. His work has been recognized for its clinical impact, influencing anesthetic protocols in thyroid surgery worldwide. With a growing citation record, Hwang continues to shape perioperative care, making him a notable figure in anesthesiology and a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring innovative pain management solutions.
