About
Yeon Joo Lee is a surgical researcher whose work centers on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the refinement of anti-reflux surgical techniques. Her major contributions lie in the objective evaluation of surgical outcomes, particularly through the innovative use of impedance planimetry (EndoFLIPTM) to assess the functional integrity of the esophageal sphincter after fundoplication. In her most-cited study, Lee directly compared the Hill and Toupet fundoplication procedures, demonstrating how EndoFLIPTM can predict postoperative success and guide surgical decision-making. This work, with 6 citations, has helped bridge the gap between subjective symptom reporting and objective physiological measurement in GERD surgery. Lee’s research is notable for its focus on precision—using real-time, data-driven feedback to improve patient outcomes and reduce the need for reoperation. Her findings are increasingly referenced in surgical education and clinical guidelines, positioning her as a rising voice in the field of foregut surgery. For students and researchers, Lee’s work exemplifies how integrating advanced diagnostic tools with traditional surgical approaches can lead to more personalized and effective care.
