About
Dr. Seungmee Lee is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose work is at the forefront of advancing minimally invasive and robotic surgery for female cancers and reproductive health. Her research is defined by a rigorous focus on surgical safety and oncologic outcomes, particularly in the context of radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. As a lead investigator for the multi-center SOLUTION trial, she is directly addressing the critical concern of tumor spillage during minimally invasive procedures, aiming to improve survival rates in a field reshaped by the landmark Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer trial. Dr. Lee’s influence extends to optimizing benign gynecologic surgery, where she has conducted randomized controlled trials (VALENTINE) evaluating diluted vasopressin to control bleeding during robot-assisted myomectomy, enhancing safety for reproductive-age women. With over 50 citations across her key works, she has also shaped the field’s understanding of surgical trends in Korea and demonstrated the noninferiority of robotic single-site surgery for endometrial cancer. Her work is instrumental in defining the next generation of safe, effective, and less invasive surgical standards.
