About

Dr. Po-Huang Lee is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped liver surgery through the adoption of robotic and minimally invasive techniques. His primary research focuses on advancing surgical approaches for hepatocellular carcinoma and living-donor liver transplantation. Dr. Lee’s landmark contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic hepatectomy for liver cancer, with his 2016 matched comparison study (151 citations) showing comparable oncologic outcomes to open surgery. He further revolutionized transplant surgery by performing one of the largest series of pure robotic living-donor right hepatectomies (148 citations), proving that this complex procedure could be accomplished with minimal invasiveness. His comprehensive 2014 review on robotic-assisted liver resection (100 citations) helped establish the field’s foundational principles. With over 150 citations on his most influential works, Dr. Lee’s research has been instrumental in reducing patient morbidity while maintaining surgical precision, making him a leading figure in the global transition toward robotic hepatobiliary surgery. His work continues to inspire a new generation of surgeons to push the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive liver surgery.
