About
Dr. Yong Soo Lee is a leading anesthesiology researcher whose work centers on optimizing perioperative respiratory care, particularly in the context of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). His major contributions focus on mitigating postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) arising from the unique challenges of the Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum. Notably, Dr. Lee conducted a pivotal propensity score-matched analysis comparing sugammadex versus neostigmine, demonstrating that sugammadex significantly reduces PPC risk in this high-risk surgical population (26 citations). He also pioneered the use of diaphragm thickening fraction (TF) as a prognostic imaging marker, establishing it as a reliable, non-invasive tool to predict respiratory outcomes before surgery (24 citations). This work has provided clinicians with actionable, evidence-based strategies to enhance patient safety. By bridging functional imaging and pharmacological management, Dr. Lee’s research has directly influenced perioperative protocols, reducing morbidity in patients undergoing steep Trendelenburg positioning. His findings are widely cited in anesthesiology and critical care literature, underscoring their impact on improving outcomes in minimally invasive urologic surgery.
