About

Dr. San Hui Lee is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive surgery, particularly in robotic and single-port techniques for the treatment of gynecologic malignancies and benign conditions. Her work focuses on developing safer, less invasive alternatives to traditional open and laparoscopic surgeries. Dr. Lee’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of robotic single-port transumbilical total hysterectomy (61 citations), a landmark study that introduced a novel, home-made surgical glove port system to reduce surgical trauma. She further established the safety and efficacy of robotic radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer (42 citations), providing critical evidence for adopting robotic approaches. More recently, Dr. Lee is leading the multi-center SOLUTION trial (15 citations), a phase II study designed to address the critical issue of tumor spillage during minimally invasive radical hysterectomy, directly responding to concerns raised by the landmark LACC trial. Her comprehensive analysis of robotic surgery trends in Korea (13 citations) has also shaped national practice. Through her innovative work, Dr. Lee has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible in gynecologic surgery, prioritizing patient outcomes and surgical precision.
