About
Min Jeong Lee is a leading investigator in the intersection of robotic surgery and enhanced postoperative recovery, with a primary focus on plastic and reconstructive surgery. Her most impactful work centers on optimizing the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap for breast reconstruction. In a landmark 2022 retrospective matched study, Dr. Lee demonstrated that a robotic-assisted, totally extraperitoneal approach significantly reduces donor-site morbidity compared to conventional techniques, achieving 48 citations for its pioneering evidence on pain reduction and faster recovery. Beyond reconstruction, she has advanced perioperative care in endocrine surgery. Her 2022 study on robotic thyroidectomy provided critical insights into postoperative gastrointestinal motility, comparing the effects of sugammadex versus neostigmine to improve bowel function recovery. By bridging minimally invasive surgical technique with anesthesiology, Dr. Lee’s work directly addresses patient-centered outcomes—reducing complications and accelerating return to daily life. Her research is essential reading for surgeons and anesthesiologists seeking to refine robotic protocols and enhance recovery pathways in both reconstructive and thyroid procedures.
