About
Hyun-Kyung Moon is a clinical anesthesiologist whose research focuses on the physiological impacts of surgical positioning and pneumoperitoneum, particularly in robot-assisted laparoscopic procedures. Her most cited work, a 2020 prospective observational cohort study, investigates intraoperative changes in whole-blood viscosity (WBV) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) in the steep Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum. This study provides critical insights into how surgical positioning and CO₂ insufflation alter hemorheological parameters, contributing to a deeper understanding of perioperative thromboembolic and cardiovascular risks. By analyzing the associations between patient factors and WBV changes, Moon’s work helps guide anesthetic management and risk stratification in minimally invasive urologic surgery. With 8 citations, this paper has become a reference point for clinicians and researchers exploring the interplay between surgical technique and patient physiology. Moon’s research underscores the importance of monitoring hemorheological dynamics during complex laparoscopic surgeries, offering practical implications for improving patient safety and outcomes in the operating room.
