About
Dr. Hak Jong Lee is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and diagnostic imaging for prostate and kidney cancers. His major contributions focus on improving functional outcomes after robotic surgery, particularly through studies on prostatic apical shape and its impact on early continence recovery following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Dr. Lee has also conducted pivotal comparative research on robotic partial nephrectomy versus radiofrequency ablation, demonstrating superior perioperative outcomes and reduced chronic kidney disease risk. His recent work explores the diagnostic accuracy of F-18-Fluorocholine PET/CT alongside multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection, contributing to the evolution of metabolic imaging in oncology. With over 55 citations across his most influential papers, Dr. Lee’s research has directly shaped clinical protocols for nerve-sparing techniques and post-biopsy hemorrhage management. His investigations into the significance of preoperative MRI findings have further refined surgical planning, underscoring his commitment to integrating advanced imaging with robotic precision. Dr. Lee’s work continues to influence urologic oncology, bridging surgical innovation with patient-centered recovery outcomes.
