About
Dea Hyun Lew is a pioneering breast surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM), to improve cosmetic outcomes and quality of life for women with breast cancer. Her major contributions include developing structured training programs that bridge the gap between cadaveric and animal models and clinical practice, addressing a critical barrier to the widespread adoption of robotic mastectomy. Her landmark 2021 feasibility report on training program establishment, cited 14 times, provides a foundational framework for surgeons transitioning from traditional to robotic approaches. Beyond this, Lew’s research integrates surgical innovation with patient-centered care, emphasizing the importance of reproducible training protocols to ensure safety and efficacy. Her work has been instrumental in shaping the early adoption of robotic techniques in breast surgery, with her publications serving as key references for both novice and experienced surgeons. Through her dedication to education and procedural standardization, Lew continues to influence the evolution of oncoplastic and robotic breast surgery, making her a notable figure in the field.
