About
Dr. Jang-Ming Lee is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for lung and esophageal cancers. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the superiority of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) over traditional video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for complex procedures. Notably, his 2016 study on robotic-assisted sleeve lobectomy for locally advanced lung cancer (32 citations) established a new standard for precision in airway reconstruction. Dr. Lee’s multi-institutional research has shown that RATS outperforms VATS for anterior mediastinal disease, while his work on robotic-assisted esophagectomy—including single-incision gastric mobilization—has improved outcomes for esophageal cancer patients. With over 100 cumulative citations across his most influential papers, his impact is evident in the growing adoption of robotic platforms for bronchoplasty, enucleation of esophageal tumors, and even traumatic bronchial repair. Dr. Lee’s dedication to refining surgical approaches continues to shape the future of thoracic oncology, offering patients safer, more effective options.
