About

Shin-Wha Lee is a leading gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive treatments for uterine fibroids, with a particular emphasis on robotic myomectomy techniques. Her major contributions center on comparing surgical outcomes across different robotic approaches and developing innovative methods to reduce costs while maintaining the benefits of robotic surgery. In a landmark 2021 study (20 citations), Lee demonstrated that single-incision robotic myomectomy offers comparable perioperative outcomes to multiport approaches, providing crucial evidence for surgeons considering less invasive options. Her 2020 work (14 citations) established that robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy is a safe and effective alternative to abdominal myomectomy even for large myomas exceeding 10 cm or 250 g, challenging traditional surgical boundaries. Notably, Lee introduced the continuous locking suture on myoma (LSOM) technique (10 citations), a novel method designed to reduce the high costs associated with robotic myomectomy without compromising surgical advantages. Through these contributions, Lee has helped expand the indications for robotic myomectomy while addressing practical barriers to adoption, making her work essential reading for surgeons seeking evidence-based approaches to complex fibroid management.
