About
Ser Yee Lee is a leading hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the adoption of minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex abdominal procedures, particularly in the Southeast Asian context. His work spans laparoscopic, robotic, and open approaches to pancreatic and liver surgery, with a sustained focus on demonstrating their safety, reproducibility, and oncologic integrity outside traditionally recognized Western expert centers. Lee's most cited contribution, a 2014 single-institution analysis of open, laparoscopic, and robotic distal pancreatectomy (196 citations), helped establish the feasibility of minimally invasive pancreatectomy for malignant disease. Subsequent studies comparing robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (64 citations) and tracking the evolution of minimally invasive hepatectomy across 400 consecutive resections (84 citations) further cemented his reputation as a pioneer in procedural innovation. Notably, his work documenting Singapore's first 100 robotic HPB cases represents a landmark regional milestone, illustrating how advanced surgical platforms can be responsibly introduced in new environments. Cumulatively accumulating over 500 citations, Lee's research provides an invaluable institutional roadmap for surgical programs worldwide seeking to transition toward minimally invasive HPB surgery with rigor and accountability.
