About
Joo Won Lee is a reproductive surgeon whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for women with uterine fibroids, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques and intraoperative hemorrhage control. Her most notable contribution is the VALENTINE Trial (2023), a randomized controlled pilot study that rigorously evaluated the effect and safety of diluted vasopressin injection during robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy. This work directly addresses a critical clinical dilemma: balancing the potent hemostatic benefits of vasopressin against the risks of systemic vasoconstriction and hypertension. By providing early, high-quality evidence on the efficacy of a diluted formulation, Dr. Lee’s research has the potential to refine standard surgical protocols, enhancing patient safety in reproductive surgery. Though her work is early-stage, with the VALENTINE Trial accumulating 5 citations, its focused, translational nature signals a strong trajectory toward influencing clinical practice. Her dedication to improving surgical precision and reproductive outcomes in women with fibroids positions her as an emerging authority in the field of gynecologic minimally invasive surgery.
