About
Dr. Sang Eun Lee is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes and surgical precision in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) for prostate cancer. His major contributions lie in identifying anatomical predictors of post-surgical urinary continence and refining surgical techniques to enhance recovery. Notably, his research on intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) and prostatic apical shape has provided critical insights for preoperative planning, with his most cited paper (32 citations) demonstrating how IPP impacts continence after RALP. Dr. Lee also pioneered a novel 1-step posterior reconstruction method, validated through a prospective randomized controlled trial (28 citations), which significantly accelerates continence recovery. His work on positive surgical margins, including their predictors and impact on biochemical recurrence (24 citations), has informed risk stratification and surgical approach selection. With over 175 cumulative citations across his top ten papers, Dr. Lee’s research bridges anatomy and surgical innovation, offering urologists evidence-based strategies to optimize both oncologic control and quality of life for prostate cancer patients. His dedication to rigorous, clinically relevant studies makes him a respected voice in robotic urologic oncology.
