About

Dr. Jong Eun Lee is a pioneering breast surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for breast cancer treatment, particularly through endoscopic and robotic approaches. Her landmark 2024 study, "Minimal Access vs Conventional Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy," has garnered 32 citations in just its first year, underscoring its immediate impact on clinical practice. This work critically evaluated postoperative outcomes between traditional open nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and emerging minimal-access methods, providing essential evidence as the field rapidly transitions toward less invasive procedures. Dr. Lee's major contribution lies in systematically comparing complication rates and oncologic safety between these approaches, addressing a critical knowledge gap that previously limited widespread adoption of endoscopic and robotic NSM. Her research has directly influenced surgical decision-making, demonstrating that minimal-access techniques can achieve comparable outcomes to conventional methods while offering improved cosmetic results and faster recovery. By establishing rigorous comparative data, Dr. Lee has helped validate these innovative approaches, making them more accessible to patients and surgeons alike. Her work continues to shape the evolution of breast cancer surgery, bridging the gap between technological advancement and evidence-based practice.
