About
Jun Nyung Lee is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after radical prostatectomy, with a particular focus on urinary continence, erectile function, and pain management. His most cited study (21 citations) investigates whether preserving the endopelvic fascia during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy reduces postoperative urinary incontinence—a critical quality-of-life concern for patients. Lee has also advanced penile rehabilitation protocols, demonstrating in a 2022 study (13 citations) that combining early low-intensity shock wave therapy with daily tadalafil yields superior erectile function recovery compared to tadalafil alone. His commitment to minimizing opioid exposure is evident in a 2023 randomized trial (9 citations) showing that a non-opioid multimodal analgesia protocol provides effective pain control after robotic prostatectomy. Lee has further contributed to surgical technique by adapting open radical prostatectomy to mirror the robotic approach, including antegrade nerve sparing and continuous anastomosis. With a minimum five-year follow-up study confirming durable oncological and functional outcomes, Lee’s research consistently addresses the practical challenges of prostate cancer surgery, aiming to enhance recovery and long-term quality of life for his patients.
