About

Dr. Lee-lynn Chen is a leading voice in gynecologic oncology, whose research bridges the critical intersection of surgical innovation, perioperative care, and health equity. Her most impactful work, an influential 2016 study on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways (106 citations), demonstrated that standardized protocols significantly improve outcomes and expedite discharge for patients undergoing minimally invasive gynecologic oncology surgery—a contribution that has helped reshape modern perioperative standards. Dr. Chen’s expertise extends to the safety of robotic-assisted surgery; she is a principal investigator of the international, multicenter AVATaR study, which investigates the effects of pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning on respiratory mechanics and postoperative pulmonary complications. Her 2020 observational study on ventilation during robotic abdominal surgery (29 citations) provides crucial data for anesthesiologists and surgeons alike. Demonstrating a deep commitment to addressing systemic inequities, Dr. Chen’s recent work (2021) critically examines racial disparities in surgical approach to myomectomy, identifying key drivers behind the disparate use of minimally invasive techniques between African American and White women. Through this diverse portfolio, Dr. Chen is advancing a more equitable, evidence-based, and patient-centered future for gynecologic surgery.
