About

Dr. Dae Hoon Lee is a distinguished urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing functional outcomes in prostate cancer surgery, with a particular focus on erectile function preservation following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. His landmark 2011 study, which has garnered 17 citations, established the critical importance of accurately assessing prediagnostic baseline erectile function using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) scoring system. This work provided the urologic community with essential methodological guidance for evaluating postoperative changes in erectile function, enabling more precise comparisons between preoperative and postoperative states. Dr. Lee's contributions have helped refine patient counseling and surgical planning in nerve-sparing procedures, directly impacting quality-of-life outcomes for thousands of prostate cancer patients. His research addresses a fundamental challenge in urologic oncology: distinguishing true surgical outcomes from pre-existing conditions. By establishing rigorous baseline assessment protocols, Dr. Lee has advanced the field's understanding of how to measure and preserve sexual function after radical prostatectomy, making his work indispensable for clinicians and researchers dedicated to improving postoperative recovery and patient satisfaction.
