About
Dr. Sang Wook Lee is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on erectile function recovery and penile rehabilitation following radical prostatectomy. His major contributions lie in defining optimal treatment timing for post-surgical erectile dysfunction, particularly through rigorous clinical trials. His most cited study, a prospective randomized trial published in 2018, directly compared the efficacy of starting sildenafil immediately after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy versus delayed treatment. This pivotal work, with 55 citations, provided critical evidence challenging assumptions about early rehabilitation protocols, demonstrating that immediate phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor therapy does not necessarily confer superior erectile function recovery compared to delayed intervention. Dr. Lee’s research has significant clinical implications, helping urologists refine postoperative care pathways and manage patient expectations. By systematically investigating the timing and efficacy of penile rehabilitation, he has advanced evidence-based practices in sexual health preservation after prostate cancer surgery. His work continues to shape urologic oncology rehabilitation strategies, making him a respected voice in the field.
