Professor Choi Il and Yeo Woon-tak of Hallym University's Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital won the Korea Neurosurgery Academic Award together
Nov 14, 2024
Professor Choi Il and Professor Yeo Woon-tak of neurosurgery at Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital won the Jeong Hwan-young Academic Award and Lee Heon-jae Academic Award, respectively, at the 「64th Korean Neurosurgery Association Autumn Conference" held at Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas from October 17 to 20.
The Korean Society of Neurosurgery annually awards academic awards to nine best thesis authors in the field of neurosurgery. The Jeong Hwan-young Academic Award is given to the author of the best thesis in the field of spine, and the Lee Heon-jae Academic Award is the most prestigious academic award for neurosurgery in Korea, which is given to the author of the best thesis in the field of neurosurgery. The neurosurgery at Hallym University's Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital achieved a feat in which two people won an academic award given only to nine out of all domestic neurosurgery researchers.
Professor Choi Il was honored with the establishment of new MRI signs for cervical disc (intervertebral disc) rupture and a comparative study with surgical findings. Professor Choi established two new MRI signs that can distinguish between protruding and ruptured discs of the cervical spine, such as Professor Choi Jeong-ah, Professor Lee Sun-ah, and Professor Seo Woo-rim of the Department of Radiology, Professor Gil Eun-kyung (first author), and Dr. Gil Eun-kyung (first author), a research team at Fast-Orthoped Surgery, 'ghost signs (blurred intervertebral boundary)' and 'mushroom signs (mushroom-shaped protrusion)'. As a result of applying this to actual surgery, the sensitivity to finding ruptured disks in MRI evaluation was only 35.5% to 45.2%, but improved to 95% after applying new signs.
Professor Choi Il expects this study to be a useful tool to support preoperative planning for conductors and increase the accuracy of diagnosis for radiologists by discriminating and diagnosing two previously unclear types of disks using newly developed MRI signs"In the age of 100, many people will contribute to maintaining healthy spinal joints and improving the quality of life."
Meanwhile, Professor Choi Il is actively engaged in academic activities, including winning the Excellence Oral Award at the 『31st Korean Society for Neuroinjury』 regular academic conference held in May.
Professor Yeo Woon-tak won the academic award for a comparative study of the results of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (hereinafter referred to as ERAS) application to entire spinal surgery and the results of application to spinal tumors and degenerative disease surgery. Professor Yeo Woon-tak announced a 10-year long-term result that ERAS significantly reduces hospital stay and medical costs immediately when applied to all spinal surgeries, including primary vertebral tumors, and the effect is continuous and the rate of readmission, reoperation, and surgical complications remains low.
ERAS is recognized as an essential element in modern surgery as a way to improve postoperative recovery by standardizing all processes before and after surgery in various surgical fields. However, in the field of spinal surgery, there was a lack of evidence for the application of ERAS except for fusion surgery of degenerative lumbar diseases.
In response, Professor Yeo Woon-tak proved for the first time that the same ERAS protocol can be applied to various spinal tumors, including tumors in the spinal cord, as well as existing degenerative diseases.
Professor Yeo Woon-tak "Until now, there have been no standardized optimal management methods to improve recovery after various spinal surgeries, and tumor surgery, in particular, has not been clearly defined for proper post-spinal management"This study allowed us to establish and prove the standardized and proven optimal post-spin surgery management method, and we expect it to help many doctors manage their post-spin surgery in the future."
