About
Sola Lee is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery, with a focused research agenda on advancing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) through robotic and laparoscopic techniques. Dr. Lee’s major contributions center on redefining the surgical boundaries of recipient operations. In a landmark 2023 paper (20 citations), Lee and colleagues described the first total robot-assisted recipient surgery in LDLT, performing a robotic explant hepatectomy followed by robotic engraftment—a crucial step toward fully robotic liver transplantation. This work builds on earlier foundational efforts from 2022 (13 citations), where Lee detailed early experiences with pure laparoscopic explant hepatectomy, addressing a critical gap in minimally invasive recipient surgery. By launching a dedicated minimally invasive LDLT program, Dr. Lee has demonstrated that complex recipient procedures can be performed with reduced invasiveness, potentially improving recovery and outcomes. These contributions have established Lee as a key innovator in the field, with cumulative citations reflecting growing interest in these transformative techniques. Dr. Lee’s work continues to push the envelope, offering new hope for patients requiring liver transplantation through safer, less invasive surgical options.
