About
Se Yeon Lee is a leading figure in the field of orthopedic spine surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted spinal fixation and pedicle screw accuracy. Her most impactful work centers on the rigorous, prospective evaluation of emerging surgical technologies. In her landmark 2018 study, "Radiographic and Clinical Outcomes of Robot-Assisted Posterior Pedicle Screw Fixation," Lee conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation (Robot-PSF) to conventional freehand techniques. With 57 citations, this work provided critical, high-level evidence demonstrating that robotic guidance significantly improves screw placement accuracy and reduces radiation exposure, while achieving comparable or superior clinical outcomes at two-year follow-up. Lee’s contributions have been instrumental in validating the clinical utility of surgical robotics, helping to shift the standard of care toward minimally invasive, precision-driven approaches. Her research not only advances technical surgical methods but also enhances patient safety and recovery, establishing her as a key voice in the integration of robotics into modern spinal surgery.
