About
Dr. Keon Hee Ryu is a clinician-researcher whose work focuses on the safety and complications of vasopressin use in gynaecological surgery, particularly during minimally invasive procedures. Her most cited paper, a 2018 case report in the *Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology* (16 citations), documents a rare but critical cardiac arrest caused by intramyometrial vasopressin injection during a robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy. This work highlights her major contribution: elucidating the systemic cardiovascular risks of locally-administered vasoconstrictors, including bradycardia and myocardial infarction, even at standard doses. By demonstrating that elevated blood concentrations of vasopressin can trigger life-threatening events, Dr. Ryu has helped shape safer surgical protocols and heightened awareness among gynaecologic surgeons. Her research bridges clinical practice and patient safety, offering actionable insights for preventing adverse outcomes in myomectomy and related procedures. With a focused body of work that has influenced perioperative guidelines, Dr. Ryu’s scholarship continues to inform both surgical technique and emergency preparedness in minimally invasive gynaecology.
