About
Dr. Hakmin Lee is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery and urologic oncology. His research focuses on optimizing surgical techniques for prostate, rectal, and renal cancers, with a particular emphasis on improving patient outcomes through minimally invasive approaches. Dr. Lee has made landmark contributions to defining the learning curve for robot-assisted total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer (79 citations), establishing benchmarks for surgical training. He has also conducted pivotal comparative studies demonstrating the oncological safety and perioperative benefits of robotic versus open and laparoscopic nephroureterectomy for upper-tract urothelial carcinoma (62 citations) and robotic partial nephrectomy for highly complex renal tumors (43 citations). Beyond surgical technique, Dr. Lee has advanced patient-centered care through innovations in post-prostatectomy rehabilitation, including a randomized controlled trial showing the effectiveness of a personalized biofeedback device for pelvic floor muscle training (25 citations). His work on 3D-printed transparent kidney models for surgical navigation in complex renal tumors (16 citations) exemplifies his commitment to personalized medicine. With over 260 total citations, Dr. Lee’s research continues to shape the future of robotic urologic surgery.
