About

Ken Lee is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His key research areas include surgical techniques for prostate cancer, post-operative urinary incontinence, and the impact of lymph node dissection on recovery. In his most cited study, Lee investigated the correlation between extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) and early-phase urinary incontinence following RARP, analyzing patient data from 2014 to 2019. This work, published in 2022, has already garnered 9 citations, reflecting its clinical relevance in refining surgical approaches to minimize side effects. By examining outcomes in patients who underwent RARP without cavernous nerve sparing, Lee provides critical insights into how extended dissection may affect continence recovery—a major concern for patients and surgeons alike. His research contributes to the ongoing effort to balance oncologic control with quality of life, making him a valuable voice in urologic oncology. Lee’s work is particularly useful for clinicians seeking evidence-based guidance on surgical decision-making and for researchers exploring postoperative functional outcomes.
