About

Dr. Woo-Suk Lee is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and the application of robotic-assisted surgical technologies. His work focuses on improving surgical precision and patient outcomes in knee replacement, particularly for Asian populations. Dr. Lee’s most cited study (36 citations) demonstrates that robot-assisted UKA significantly reduces radiologic outliers compared to conventional techniques, establishing a new standard for accuracy in joint alignment. He has also pioneered the use of intraoperative robotic systems to validate goniometer measurements of knee range of motion, enhancing the reliability of clinical assessments (19 citations). Beyond the knee, Dr. Lee has contributed to the debate on minimally invasive surgery for advanced upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma, comparing outcomes of laparoscopic, robotic, and open approaches in a multi-center study. His work on the anatomical differences between medial and lateral tibia plateaus has informed preoperative planning for UKA, ensuring more personalized and effective surgical strategies. With a growing citation impact and a focus on evidence-based innovation, Dr. Lee is advancing the field of robotic orthopedic surgery and improving surgical outcomes for patients worldwide.
