About
Dr. Seung Woo Lee is a pioneering figure in advanced gastrointestinal endoscopy, with a focused expertise in the development and evaluation of robotic-assisted endoscopic techniques. His primary research area centers on overcoming the technical challenges of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a demanding procedure for removing early-stage gastrointestinal tumors. Dr. Lee’s major contribution lies in the novel application of robotic arm-assisted tissue traction to improve the safety and efficacy of ESD. His most cited work, “Evaluation of a robotic arm-assisted endoscope to facilitate endoscopic submucosal dissection (with video)” (2019, 29 citations), established the foundational proof-of-concept for this technology. He further validated its practical utility in a live animal model with his 2024 study, “Efficacy of robot arm-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection in live porcine stomach (with video)” (8 citations). By demonstrating that a robotic arm can effectively expose the submucosal plane—a critical step that is often the most difficult for human hands—Dr. Lee’s research is directly addressing a key bottleneck in the field. His work is paving the way for more precise, less invasive cancer treatments, marking him as a key innovator at the intersection of robotics and therapeutic endoscopy.
