About
Jeong-Hwa Seo is a pioneering surgeon-anesthesiologist whose work bridges the frontiers of urologic oncology and intraoperative neuroprotection. Her landmark 2019 first-in-human feasibility study introduced a novel method for real-time monitoring and mapping of the cavernous nerve during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy—a breakthrough directly addressing the critical challenge of preserving erectile function without compromising oncologic outcomes. This work, cited 23 times, established a new paradigm for nerve-sparing surgery. Dr. Seo also leads rigorous comparative effectiveness research in anesthesia, as demonstrated by her 2023 randomized controlled trial examining how propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia versus desflurane affects postoperative recovery after minimally invasive nephrectomy. By systematically evaluating anesthetic techniques, she is refining perioperative care to accelerate recovery and improve patient experience. Her dual expertise in surgical innovation and anesthesiology uniquely positions her to optimize outcomes across the entire surgical journey, from the operating room through recovery. Dr. Seo’s contributions are shaping evidence-based practices that enhance both functional preservation and postoperative well-being.
