About
Dr. Hee Jong Lee is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on optimizing perioperative respiratory management, particularly during minimally invasive surgeries. His most-cited work, "Optimal positive end-expiratory pressure during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy" (2013, 46 citations), addresses a critical challenge: how to counteract the formation of atelectasis caused by increased intra-abdominal pressure during laparoscopic procedures. By systematically investigating the ideal level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), Dr. Lee provided evidence-based guidance to improve lung function and patient safety during robotic surgery. This study has become a cornerstone reference for anesthesiologists seeking to balance surgical access with respiratory mechanics. Beyond this landmark paper, Dr. Lee’s broader contributions to perioperative medicine have shaped clinical protocols for ventilation strategies, helping reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. His work is widely cited by clinicians and researchers aiming to refine anesthetic care in the era of minimally invasive surgery. Through rigorous clinical investigation, Dr. Lee continues to advance the safety and efficacy of anesthesia for complex urological procedures.
