About
Dr. Joong Ho Lee is a pioneering gastric surgeon whose work has redefined the boundaries of minimally invasive oncologic surgery. His primary research focuses on advancing robotic gastrectomy techniques for gastric cancer, with a particular emphasis on organ preservation and reduced-port approaches. Dr. Lee’s most impactful contribution, his 2014 study on robotic spleen-preserving total gastrectomy (163 citations), established a landmark comparison with conventional laparoscopy, demonstrating that complex, organ-sparing procedures can be performed safely with robotic assistance. He further refined these techniques by developing the delta-shaped gastroduodenostomy using a robotic stapler, proving its safety and efficiency in reduced-port settings. Beyond technical innovation, Dr. Lee is a leader in surgical education. He created the Advanced Real-time Multi-display Educational System (ARMES), an audiovisual mentoring tool that revolutionizes intraoperative training for complex robotic procedures. By integrating cutting-edge technology with surgical pedagogy, Dr. Lee not only improves patient outcomes but also equips the next generation of surgeons with the skills to perform advanced, minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery.
