About
Ji Youl Lee is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robotic minimally invasive surgery, bladder cancer management, and prostate cancer care. Operating within Korea's leading multicenter research networks, Lee has made substantial contributions to advancing robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC), drawing on the KORARC database to evaluate critical outcomes including postoperative ileus, pentafecta attainment, and the comparative merits of intracorporeal versus extracorporeal urinary diversion — work that has collectively garnered nearly 70 citations. His more recent investigations have pushed the frontier of single-port robotic surgery, demonstrating the feasibility of retroperitoneal nephroureterectomy and partial nephrectomy using single-port platforms, studies that have rapidly accumulated citations and signal growing influence in the field. Beyond operative technique, Lee has contributed meaningfully to health systems research, including a nationwide Korean population-based analysis of prostate cancer practice patterns and costs, and participated in the collaborative Asian Prostate Cancer study. His breadth — spanning surgical innovation, oncological outcomes, perioperative optimization, and epidemiology — positions him as a versatile and impactful figure shaping contemporary urological practice across Asia and beyond.
