About
Dr. Suk-Hwan Lee is a leading colorectal surgeon whose work has fundamentally shaped the landscape of minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer in Korea. His research centers on advancing laparoscopic and robotic techniques, with a particular focus on improving surgical outcomes and expanding access to these procedures. Dr. Lee’s landmark 2015 study, cited over 20 times, provided the first comprehensive nationwide analysis of laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery in Korea, establishing critical benchmarks for practice. He has pioneered specific technical innovations, such as the Endo-Satinsky clamp for rectal transection during total mesorectal excision, and has investigated the evolving role of single-port robotic surgery versus traditional laparoscopy. His work also addresses the changing demographic of surgical patients, notably through studies on rectal prolapse in the elderly. With recent publications analyzing nationwide health insurance data from 2019 to 2023, Dr. Lee continues to provide essential, population-level insights that guide surgical decision-making and policy, solidifying his reputation as a key architect of modern colorectal surgical practice in Korea.
