About
Chang-Hoon Koo is an anesthesiologist and perioperative researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes in minimally invasive and robotic procedures. His research centers on three key areas: neuromuscular blockade management, postoperative renal function, and laryngo-pharyngeal complications from airway devices. In a landmark 2019 prospective randomized trial (12 citations), Koo demonstrated that adjusting endotracheal tube cuff pressure during scarless remote access thyroidectomy significantly reduces laryngo-pharyngeal complications—a finding that directly improved patient safety in this emerging surgical field. He has also made critical contributions to postoperative pain management, comparing NSAID- and opioid-based patient-controlled analgesia after laparoscopic nephrectomy and robotic prostatectomy (12 and 8 citations, respectively), addressing concerns about NSAID nephrotoxicity in urologic surgery. His 2021 randomized trial on deep neuromuscular blockade during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (7 citations) provided evidence-based guidance on respiratory mechanics and surgical conditions. Koo’s work has accumulated over 45 citations, with multiple studies published in leading anesthesia and surgery journals. His research bridges the gap between anesthetic technique and surgical outcomes, offering practical insights for clinicians managing patients undergoing advanced robotic and endoscopic procedures.
