About
Dr. Woohyung Lee is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive surgery for complex abdominal malignancies. His work centers on comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques for pancreatic and biliary procedures, with a specific focus on distal pancreatectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy. Dr. Lee’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and oncologic feasibility of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy through rigorous propensity score-matched analyses, showing comparable outcomes to open surgery even during the learning curve. His landmark study on robotic versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, involving over 1,100 patients, provided critical evidence on perioperative and pathologic outcomes. With his most cited paper accumulating 61 citations, Dr. Lee has established benchmarks for surgical technique and training. He has also extended his expertise to minimally invasive management of adult choledochal cysts, further broadening the scope of robotic surgery. Through his methodical, data-driven approach, Dr. Lee is shaping the next generation of evidence-based, minimally invasive pancreatic surgery.
