About
Dr. Jung-Dong Lee is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgery, with a primary focus on robotic and laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) techniques. His major contributions lie in rigorously comparing the efficacy and feasibility of these innovative approaches against traditional methods. In his highly cited 2015 study (45 citations), Dr. Lee provided critical evidence demonstrating the viability of robotic single-site hysterectomy for benign gynecologic disease, using propensity score matching to ensure robust, comparative outcomes. Beyond gynecology, his work extends to optimizing postoperative recovery in thyroid surgery. His 2016 investigation into ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for pain management after single-incision transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy (START) addresses a key clinical challenge—mitigating the substantial tissue trauma associated with the procedure. By evaluating the analgesic effects of serratus-intercostal and intermediate cervical plexus blocks, Dr. Lee has directly contributed to enhanced patient comfort and recovery protocols. His research is instrumental in shaping best practices for surgeons adopting these advanced, scarless surgical platforms, demonstrating a clear commitment to improving both surgical precision and patient quality of life.
