About
Jae Kwan Lee is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the understanding of minimally invasive surgical techniques in gynecologic oncology. Based primarily at Korea University Anam Hospital, Lee's research focuses on three interconnected areas: the oncologic outcomes of minimally invasive radical hysterectomy for cervical and endometrial cancers, the surgical learning curves associated with emerging robotic and laparoscopic platforms, and the identification of risk factors for postoperative complications such as vaginal cuff dehiscence. Among his most impactful contributions, Lee's 2020 examination of how learning curves influence oncologic outcomes in minimally invasive radical hysterectomy (40 citations) raised critical questions about the safe adoption of these techniques — work with direct implications for surgical training and patient safety. His parallel investigation into sentinel lymph node mapping learning curves (35 citations) helped define benchmarks for competency in robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery. His 2014 study evaluating vaginal cuff dehiscence risk factors across 604 patients (38 citations) remains a widely referenced resource for surgeons selecting operative approaches. More recently, Lee has compared single-port laparoscopic and robotic platforms, contributing nuanced evidence on their comparative efficacy. Collectively, his work shapes how surgeons adopt, evaluate, and refine minimally invasive approaches in gynecologic practice.
