About

Hanjoo Lee is a colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic surgical techniques for colorectal cancer, with a particular emphasis on improving outcomes in complex patient populations. His most impactful work includes a pooled analysis of 836 cases examining robotic total mesorectal excision in overweight males with low rectal cancer, demonstrating how robotic approaches can improve pathology metrics in this challenging group. With a growing body of work spanning robotic-assisted colectomy outcomes and institutional volume effects, Lee has contributed to understanding how surgical expertise and center experience influence patient results. His research on robotic right colectomy in patients with complex histories, such as renal transplantation, showcases his commitment to expanding surgical options for vulnerable populations. Through studies examining the relationship between center-level operative volume and acute outcomes, Lee is helping to define best practices for implementing robotic colorectal surgery programs. His work continues to shape the evidence base for robotic approaches in colorectal cancer care, particularly for technically demanding cases where precision matters most.
