About
Dr. Po-Ying Lee is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on improving outcomes in complex pancreatic surgeries, particularly pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Her work critically examines the intersection of surgical technique and oncologic efficacy, with a key contribution being the comparative analysis of robotic versus open PD in cases with positive surgical margins. In her 2021 study, Dr. Lee investigated whether minimally invasive approaches offer advantages in palliative settings, challenging conventional wisdom by demonstrating that robotic PD can be performed with comparable safety to open surgery even when complete tumor clearance is not achievable. While her most-cited paper has garnered 2 citations, this reflects the niche but growing interest in robotic pancreatic surgery and palliative resections. Dr. Lee’s research addresses a critical gap in the literature, as most studies focus on curative-intent resections, leaving palliative PD outcomes underexplored. Her work provides valuable data for surgeons weighing operative approaches in high-risk patients, contributing to the broader movement toward personalized, outcomes-driven surgical decision-making in hepatopancreatobiliary oncology.
