About

Dr. Hsiang‐Ying Lee is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and prostate cancer. Dr. Lee’s major contributions include pioneering comparative studies of hand-assisted, laparoscopic, and robotic nephroureterectomy, demonstrating that robotic approaches can achieve superior oncological outcomes with fewer complications—work that has garnered over 24 citations. Additionally, Dr. Lee has innovated single-site sutureless partial nephrectomy for small renal tumors and extraperitoneal robotic laparo-endoscopic single-site radical prostatectomy, reducing surgical morbidity and improving recovery. With cumulative citations exceeding 60, Dr. Lee’s impact is evident in multicenter collaborations, such as the Taiwan UTUC Collaboration Group, which analyzed over 1,100 patients to refine bladder cuff excision techniques. Notable achievements include international multicenter studies on unconventional prostate cancer histology and learning curve analyses for single-site robot-assisted prostatectomy, guiding surgical training. Dr. Lee’s work consistently pushes the boundaries of urologic oncology, offering patients safer, more effective surgical options.
