About
Sae Byul Lee is a pioneering breast surgical oncologist whose research sits at the cutting edge of minimally invasive and robotic breast surgery. With a growing body of work accumulating nearly 100 citations, Lee has established herself as a leading voice in the rapidly evolving field of robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and immediate breast reconstruction. Lee's most influential contribution — a 2024 comparative study of minimal access versus conventional nipple-sparing mastectomy (32 citations) — helped clarify postoperative outcomes as endoscopic and robotic techniques surged in adoption. Her 2021 work introducing the prepectoral anterior tenting method for robot-assisted reconstruction (20 citations) demonstrated innovative approaches to improving surgical precision and patient aesthetics. Notably, her 2023 study comparing conventional and robot-assisted mastectomy was among the first to incorporate patient-reported outcome measures alongside reconstructive results, offering a more holistic evaluation of surgical success. More recently, Lee has investigated single-port robotic systems, tumescent-free techniques, and the impact of tumor-to-nipple distance on robotic NSM feasibility, reflecting her commitment to refining safety standards and expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive breast surgery. Her work represents an essential reference for surgeons and researchers navigating the future of oncoplastic breast care.
