About
Dr. Tagkeun Lee is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on the safety and innovation of robotic thyroid surgery, particularly through the transoral approach. His most notable contribution is the development of a novel method to monitor intracranial pressure during trans‑oral robotic thyroidectomy using optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement. This work addresses a critical safety concern—the risk of elevated intracranial pressure from CO₂ insufflation in a confined surgical space near the brain. By demonstrating that ONSD can reliably detect these changes, Dr. Lee has provided a non‑invasive, real‑time monitoring tool that enhances patient safety during minimally invasive procedures. His landmark paper on this topic has garnered 5 citations, reflecting its growing influence in the field of endocrine and robotic surgery. Dr. Lee’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient safety, offering a practical solution to a previously under‑recognized risk. His work is essential reading for surgeons and anesthesiologists seeking to optimize outcomes in transoral thyroidectomy, and it positions him as a key contributor to the evolution of safe, scarless neck surgery.
