About

Yeon Ju Lee is a surgical researcher whose work centers on optimizing perioperative outcomes and pain management in minimally invasive procedures. Her key research areas include robotic surgery, postoperative pain assessment, and the refinement of surgical techniques to enhance patient recovery. Lee’s most cited study, “Pain related to robotic cholecystectomy with lower abdominal ports” (2016, 18 citations), represents a significant contribution to the field by systematically investigating the time course and components of pain following this novel approach. By comparing robotic cholecystectomy using lower abdominal port sites (T12-L1) to traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, her work provides critical insights into the specific pain profiles associated with different surgical access points. This research has helped surgeons better understand and manage postoperative discomfort, directly influencing clinical protocols for patient-centered care. While her citation count reflects the specialized nature of her work, Lee’s findings have been instrumental in advancing the evidence base for robotic surgical techniques, offering practical guidance for improving patient comfort and recovery in a rapidly evolving surgical landscape.
