About
Sin Woo Lee is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical techniques for prostate cancer and managing complex complications in kidney transplantation. Lee’s major contributions center on robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), particularly comparing surgical approaches to improve patient outcomes. In a highly cited 2020 study (14 citations), Lee examined the learning curve of a novice surgeon performing both retropubic and robotic-assisted radical prostatectomies, providing critical insights into how these techniques influence each other during skill acquisition. Lee further advanced the field with a 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis (12 citations) comparing Retzius-sparing versus conventional RARP, offering updated evidence on functional preservation and oncologic control. More recently, Lee has investigated urolithiasis in kidney transplant patients (2024, 2 citations), addressing a rare but serious complication that can lead to acute kidney injury in the graft. Through participation in the Korean Society of Endourology and Robotics (KSER) research series, Lee has contributed multicenter data that informs clinical decision-making. With a growing body of work that bridges surgical innovation and evidence-based practice, Sin Woo Lee is establishing a reputation for improving surgical precision and patient safety in urologic oncology and transplantation.
