About
Dr. Soo‐Youn Lee is a pioneering hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HPB) surgeon whose work has advanced the frontiers of minimally invasive surgery in Singapore. Her primary research focuses on the application of robotic-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) techniques for complex HPB procedures, including hepatectomies and pancreatic surgeries. Dr. Lee’s major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and early outcomes of robotic surgery in a region where such experience was initially limited. Her landmark studies, including a single-institution report on robotic hepatectomy (18 citations) and a broader series on RAL HPB surgery (17 citations), provide foundational evidence that has guided the adoption of these technologies in Asia. By meticulously documenting the learning curve and perioperative results from Singapore General Hospital, she has helped establish benchmarks for surgical difficulty and patient selection. Dr. Lee’s work is particularly impactful for trainees and researchers seeking to understand the transition from traditional open surgery to robotic platforms, offering both practical insights and outcome data that continue to shape clinical practice in HPB oncology and minimally invasive surgery.
