About
Mirang Lee is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic techniques. Her major contributions center on advancing the safety, efficacy, and training for complex procedures such as robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy (RAPD) and single-port robotic cholecystectomy. In landmark studies, she has compared the da Vinci Xi and SP systems for gallbladder surgery and demonstrated the oncologic safety of robotic extended cholecystectomy for gallbladder cancer. Her work on RAPD, involving over 300 and later 630 consecutive cases, provides critical long-term oncologic outcome data and annual trend analyses that help define best practices. With several papers accumulating 15 or more citations, Lee’s research has shaped perioperative protocols and training curricula—including the development of silicone model simulations for duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy. Her multicenter, propensity score-matched studies offer robust evidence supporting the adoption of minimally invasive approaches over open surgery. Through these achievements, Lee is driving the evolution of robotic surgery toward broader, safer clinical implementation.
