About

Han Hong Lee is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for gastric cancer treatment. His primary research areas include robotic gastrectomy, lymphadenectomy optimization, and comparative outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches. Dr. Lee’s major contributions are evident in his seminal 2011 paper on robot-assisted distal gastrectomy, which has garnered 46 citations and laid foundational insights for robotic gastric surgery. He further advanced the field by investigating hybrid robotic-laparoscopic gastrectomy, demonstrating its advantages over conventional laparoscopy in a 2021 study with 10 citations. Notably, his 2023 work on Indocyanine Green (ICG)-guided robotic gastrectomy, cited 8 times, explores enhanced lymph node dissection—a critical factor in improving patient outcomes. Dr. Lee also leads the KLASS-13 trial (2025), a national study comparing reduced-port robotic gastrectomy to conventional laparoscopy, underscoring his role in shaping future surgical standards. With a focus on precision, reduced invasiveness, and evidence-based innovation, Dr. Lee’s research continues to influence gastric cancer surgery globally, offering safer, more effective options for patients.
