About
Dr. Min Hur is a pioneering anesthesiologist and surgical researcher whose work bridges regional anesthesia, intraoperative monitoring, and urologic surgery. Her key research areas include ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, diaphragmatic function, and novel nerve-sparing techniques during robotic surgery. Dr. Hur’s most impactful study, a 2020 prospective observational investigation, established the incidence of hemi-diaphragmatic paresis following ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block—a critical safety finding that has garnered 28 citations and informed clinical practice. She also led a landmark Phase I/II first-in-human feasibility study (2019, 23 citations) that developed and validated a novel intraoperative monitoring and mapping method for the cavernous nerve during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, offering a potential breakthrough in preserving erectile function. Additionally, her work on ventilatory strategies—examining prolonged inspiratory time and positive end-expiratory pressure effects during laparoscopic urologic surgery—has advanced perioperative respiratory management. With a total of 58 citations across her most-cited papers, Dr. Hur’s contributions demonstrate a commitment to improving surgical outcomes through innovative, patient-centered research. Her achievements highlight her as a rising leader in anesthesiology and surgical innovation.
