About
Jeeyeon Lee is a pioneering surgeon whose work is redefining the landscape of minimally invasive and scarless surgery, with a primary focus on robotic thyroidectomy and breast reconstruction. Her research is centered on developing and comparing novel remote-access approaches that eliminate visible cervical and axillary scars. Lee’s most significant contributions include the first-ever description of a real scarless transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) using only three ports, a breakthrough that eliminates the need for axillary incisions and extensive flap dissection. Her comparative studies, such as the 2018 analysis of transoral versus bilateral axillo-breast approaches (43 citations), have provided critical evidence guiding surgical decision-making. In breast reconstruction, she has advanced the field by comparing robot-assisted latissimus dorsi flap harvest to conventional methods (21 citations), demonstrating the potential for improved outcomes. Lee’s impact is further underscored by her innovative use of porcine training models to refine endoscopic and robotic techniques before human application. With a growing body of highly cited work, Jeeyeon Lee is establishing herself as a leader in the quest for truly scarless, patient-centered surgical solutions.
