About
Harry Lee is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of prostate cancer surgery. His primary research focus is the refinement of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a specific emphasis on the Retzius-sparing (RS-RARP) technique. Lee’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that this approach dramatically improves postoperative urinary function and quality of life without compromising oncologic control. His landmark 2020 paper, cited over 100 times, provides a definitive single-surgeon series and step-by-step guide, establishing RS-RARP as a viable, superior alternative to the standard approach. Further expanding this impact, Lee has meticulously analyzed the technique’s learning curve across three continents, proving its global adoptability. He has also uniquely investigated its broader benefits, showing that RS-RARP reduces the incidence of penile shortening, Peyronie’s disease, and inguinal hernias—complications often overlooked in standard procedures. With a growing body of highly cited work, Lee is not just a skilled surgeon but a methodical innovator, providing the evidence base for a more patient-centered, function-preserving future in prostate cancer care.
