About

Hye Sun Lee is a leading anesthesiologist and researcher whose work centers on optimizing perioperative care in robotic surgery, with a particular focus on breast cancer and urologic oncology. Her research has pioneered pain management strategies for robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM) with immediate breast reconstruction, demonstrating that this minimally invasive approach can significantly reduce postoperative pain compared to conventional techniques. In a landmark 2021 study (21 citations), she established the analgesic benefits of robotic NSM, while subsequent randomized controlled trials showed that intraoperative pectoralis nerve II (PECS II) blocks under direct vision further decrease fentanyl consumption after RNSM. Beyond breast surgery, Lee has investigated the role of intravenous magnesium administration during robotic radical prostatectomy and the influence of deep neuromuscular blockade on perioperative stress response during robot-assisted gastrectomy. Her work consistently demonstrates how targeted anesthetic interventions can improve surgical outcomes and patient recovery. With multiple prospective randomized trials to her name, Lee is recognized for advancing evidence-based protocols that enhance the safety and comfort of patients undergoing complex robotic procedures.
