About
Jeong Zoo Lee is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery. His primary research focuses on comparing the functional outcomes of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a particular emphasis on postoperative urinary continence and erectile function recovery. In his landmark 2016 propensity score-matched study, Lee analyzed over 700 patients to demonstrate that RARP offers superior early recovery of continence compared to LRP, providing critical evidence for surgical decision-making. This work, cited 8 times, has helped shape clinical guidelines and patient counseling in robotic surgery. Beyond this, Lee has contributed to optimizing surgical techniques and understanding long-term quality-of-life outcomes after radical prostatectomy. His research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient-centered care, making him a respected voice in urologic oncology. For students and researchers, Lee’s work exemplifies how rigorous comparative effectiveness research can directly improve surgical practice and patient outcomes.
