About
Su‐Min Lee is a prominent urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for upper urinary tract malignancies. Her key research areas include laparoscopic and robot-assisted nephroureterectomy, with a focus on optimizing oncologic outcomes and perioperative recovery. Lee’s major contribution lies in critically evaluating the comparative effectiveness of these approaches; her systematic review, “Laparoscopic vs robotic nephroureterectomy: Is it time to re-establish the standard?” (2017, 22 citations), synthesizes evidence from comparative studies to assess whether robot-assisted surgery should supplant the laparoscopic gold standard. This work has informed clinical decision-making by highlighting trade-offs in operative time, complication rates, and oncologic efficacy. Beyond this, Lee has contributed to broader urologic oncology literature, with her publications collectively cited over 200 times, reflecting her influence in shaping evidence-based practice. Her research is notable for its methodological rigor and direct clinical relevance, helping surgeons and patients navigate evolving technologies. Lee’s dedication to systematic evidence synthesis positions her as a key voice in the ongoing debate over surgical standards for upper tract urothelial carcinoma.
