About

Dr. Ji Hyun Lee is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing robotic surgery for complex conditions in women’s health, particularly endometrial cancer and endometriosis. Her landmark 2020 study comparing robot-assisted staging surgery (RSS) using three robotic arms versus open surgery for endometrial cancer—cited 21 times—provided critical evidence that robotic approaches can achieve comparable survival outcomes while offering patients less invasive options. Dr. Lee’s work on robotic surgery for endometriosis, published in 2024, addresses the needs of the 10% of reproductive-age women affected by this chronic condition, positioning her as a leader in minimally invasive treatment. She has also charted new territory in surgical proficiency, demonstrating through a 2024 study on robotic hysterectomy for uteri exceeding 1000 grams that surgeons can safely master these challenging procedures. Her research on learning curves has practical implications for training the next generation of robotic surgeons. With a career dedicated to improving surgical outcomes and expanding access to advanced techniques, Dr. Lee’s contributions are shaping the future of gynecologic oncology and minimally invasive surgery.
