Dr. Sang-Ku Park has been working on intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) since 2003, and has been doing a lot of research to elicit optimal euro monitoring in various neurosurgery operations.In particular, he is most interested in microvascular decompression surgery and has a lot of research achievements. In the study, the proposal of the real-time BAEPs method and the new method of LSR method greatly increased the reliability of BAEPs and LSR tests, and a little more detailed analysis was possible than the existing methods.
Dr. Sang-Ku Park has been a member of a special director in the Korean Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (KSINM) since 2015.Since 2018, he has been an editorial board member of the Korean Journal of Clinical Laboratory Science (KJCLS) to advance IONM academically.
Dr. Byung-EukJoo is currently working as an associate professor in the Department of Neurology. He has majored in the field of epilepsy and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM). While working as a neurologist, he received various clinical training as well as theoretical knowledge of clinical neurophysiological studies such as electromyography, electroencephalography, and evoked potential tests. Dr. Byung-Euk Joo has been conducting and supervising the IONM for various surgeries since 2013. Also, with the knowledge and experience of IONM, he has published several high-value articles on IONM. He is particularly interested in IONM during microvascular decompression surgery for hemifacial spasmand isconducting ongoing research on this area.
Professor Kwan Park Through almost 5,000 microvascular decompression surgical cases of his own, Professor Kwan Park has been a noteworthy leader in this field to overcome the cranial nerve rhizopathy including hemifacial spasm and trigeminal neuralgia.
He has also been credited with contributions to the improvement of surgical outcome andprevention of postoperative complications by numerous academic publications.
Professor Park has been recognized by the World Neurosurgical Federation for Cranial Nerve Disorders(WNFCND) as one of the best microvascular surgeons in the world.
He is professor emeritus at Sungkyunkwan University and currently working as a professor of neurosurgery at Konkuk University Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea.
