About
Jong Soo Lee is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robotic and minimally invasive urological surgery, with particular emphasis on prostate cancer treatment, partial nephrectomy, and ureteral reconstruction. His most influential contribution examines Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), demonstrating through a propensity score-matched analysis of 1,863 patients that this technique confers significantly earlier urinary continence recovery compared to conventional RARP — a finding that has shaped surgical decision-making and accumulated 87 citations. Lee has further refined prostatectomy outcomes by investigating urethral realignment strategies, including bladder neck and maximal urethral length preservation, offering practical guidance for surgeons optimizing postoperative quality of life. Beyond prostate surgery, Lee has made notable contributions to the understanding of acute kidney injury following partial nephrectomy, developing risk-scoring systems and exploring the role of diabetes mellitus as a predictive factor. His research on robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for high-complexity tumors demonstrates the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive approaches even in challenging cases. More recently, Lee has pioneered the adoption of the da Vinci SP single-port robotic system for pyeloplasty and ureteral reconstruction, advancing the frontier of single-incision robotic urology and establishing its clinical feasibility and cost-effectiveness.
