About

Hunju Lee is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) for clinically localized prostate cancer. Lee’s major contributions focus on two key surgical innovations: the Retzius-sparing approach and posterior musculofascial reconstruction. Through a series of high-impact Cochrane reviews and protocols—including a 2020 study with 70 citations—Lee systematically evaluated whether preserving the space of Retzius improves continence recovery and functional outcomes compared to standard RALP. Their 2021 systematic review (19 citations) synthesized global evidence, establishing Retzius-sparing RALP as a promising technique for reducing postoperative urinary leakage. Additionally, Lee investigated posterior reconstruction’s role in hastening return to continence, publishing protocols and reviews that guide evidence-based surgical practice. With cumulative citations exceeding 120, Lee’s work has directly influenced clinical guidelines and operative standards worldwide. Their rigorous methodology and commitment to patient-centered outcomes make them a trusted voice in urologic oncology, helping surgeons balance oncologic control with quality of life. Lee’s research empowers clinicians to adopt techniques that minimize morbidity without compromising cancer cure.
