About
Hwan Seo Lee is a pioneering researcher in the field of otologic surgery, with a focused expertise in the integration of robotics and image-guided systems for enhanced surgical precision. His most notable contribution is the development and validation of a human–robot collaborative control system for mastoidectomy, a complex procedure involving the removal of part of the mastoid bone. In a landmark 2017 cadaver study, Lee demonstrated that robot-assisted mastoidectomy could achieve superior precision and safety compared to traditional techniques, while maintaining acceptable operative duration. This work, which has garnered 11 citations, represents a critical step toward translating robotic assistance into clinical otologic practice, potentially reducing the risk of damage to vital structures such as the facial nerve and inner ear. Lee’s research bridges the gap between engineering and medicine, offering a tangible solution to the challenges of anatomical variability and manual dexterity in ear surgery. His contributions are particularly impactful for surgeons seeking to adopt minimally invasive, high-accuracy approaches, and his work continues to influence the design of next-generation surgical robots.
