About
Lee Dong-Hyeon is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a particular focus on erectile function recovery. His most cited study, published in 2013, introduced an innovative technique using a hyaluronic acid-carboxymethylcellulose (HACM) adhesion barrier applied directly to the neurovascular bundle and prostatic bed during RARP. This initial experience demonstrated that the barrier significantly facilitated earlier recovery of erectile function, offering a novel, non-pharmacologic approach to preserving post-surgical quality of life. With 11 citations, this work has influenced subsequent research into biomaterials for nerve-sparing surgery. Lee’s contributions bridge surgical oncology and regenerative medicine, addressing a critical unmet need in prostate cancer survivorship. His research is particularly valuable for urologists and biomedical engineers seeking to minimize the long-term side effects of radical prostatectomy, marking him as a key figure in the evolution of nerve-sparing robotic techniques.
