About
Dr. Chin-Pang Lee is a pioneering microsurgeon and researcher whose work centers on reversing the debilitating complications of thoracic sympathectomy, particularly compensatory sweating (CS). Over a 40-year journey, he has advanced the field from open surgery to robotic-assisted microsurgery, fundamentally changing how surgeons approach sympathetic trunk reconstruction (STR). His major contributions include demonstrating the technical feasibility of microsurgical robotic suturing for sural nerve grafts (2020, 24 citations) and reporting the first 2-year outcomes of robotic STR for CS reversal (2023, 14 citations). In a landmark achievement, Dr. Lee performed the first-in-human application of robotic vascularized intercostal nerve grafts for thoracic STR (2025, 1 citation), a technical innovation that overcomes the limitations of conventional free nerve grafts by addressing extensive nerve defects without donor site morbidity. His historical review (2025, 3 citations) chronicles the evolution of this field, cementing his role as a leading authority. With a career dedicated to restoring quality of life for patients suffering from post-sympathectomy complications, Dr. Lee’s work represents a paradigm shift in reconstructive microsurgery, offering hope where none existed before.
