About

Eun Sil Lee is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery for complex uterine and pelvic conditions. Her research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for patients with large or symptomatic myomas (fibroids) and pelvic organ prolapse, particularly in peri- and post-menopausal women. In her landmark 2020 study comparing robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) to abdominal myomectomy for myomas over 10 cm or weighing 250 g—cited 14 times—she demonstrated that RALM offers comparable efficacy with reduced morbidity, expanding surgical options for patients with challenging fibroids. Lee also introduced an innovative cost-reduction technique in 2021: the continuous locking suture on myoma (LSOM) technique, which maintains robotic precision while lowering procedural expenses. Her work on robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse further underscores her commitment to improving quality of life through less invasive approaches. With over 30 citations across her key publications, Lee’s contributions are shaping modern gynecologic surgery by making robotic myomectomy more accessible and effective, and by validating robotic repair for prolapse in older populations. Her achievements highlight a career dedicated to merging surgical innovation with patient-centered outcomes.
