About

Roseanna Lee is a surgeon-researcher whose work bridges the frontiers of minimally invasive surgery and health systems resilience. Her primary research areas include robotic surgery, operative safety, and surgical crisis management. Lee’s most cited study, “Single-Site Robotic Cholecystectomy at an Inner-City Academic Center” (2015, 21 citations), provides critical evidence that single-site robotic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective alternative to traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, particularly in diverse, underserved patient populations. This work helped validate robotic approaches in real-world inner-city settings, expanding access to advanced surgical techniques. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Lee demonstrated her leadership in operative crisis management with “Operative Shutdown and Recovery: Restructuring Surgical Operations During the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic” (2021, 7 citations), offering a practical framework for safely resuming elective surgeries while managing resource constraints. Her contributions underscore a commitment to both technological innovation and equitable surgical care. By combining rigorous outcomes research with operational adaptability, Lee has established herself as a thoughtful voice in modern surgical practice, particularly for institutions serving vulnerable communities.
