About
Ki-Young Lee is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of anesthesiology and minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a particular focus on optimizing perioperative outcomes in robotic and laparoscopic procedures. His most influential contribution — a prospective randomized trial demonstrating that total intravenous anesthesia with propofol significantly reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (85 citations) — has meaningfully shaped anesthetic protocols for urological surgery. Lee has also made important contributions to robotic colorectal surgery, co-authoring a widely cited multicentre study (73 citations) establishing the oncological safety and long-term feasibility of robotic intersphincteric resection for low rectal cancer, alongside pioneering work on transanal specimen extraction techniques. His investigations into ventilatory strategies — comparing inspiratory-to-expiratory ratios during robotic prostatectomy — and neuromuscular blockade depth during robotic gastrectomy reflect a rigorous commitment to refining intraoperative management. More recently, Lee has examined anesthetic effects on ventricular repolarization, broadening his cardiovascular safety research. Collectively, his body of work, totaling over 240 citations, positions him as a valuable voice in evidence-based perioperative care for robotic surgery.
