Dr. Sang Lee is one of the nation’s leading experts in laparoscopic and endoluminal colon and rectal surgery. He is the lead inventor of an innovative low-cost, lightweight, wearable negative pressure surgical dressing, which has been shown to reduce surgical site infections and improve wound healing. Dr. Lee has also pioneered a non-invasive surgical technique called CELS (combined endolaparoscopic surgery), which removes complex colon and rectal polyps not amendable for colonoscopic removal while avoiding bowel resection. He specializes in organ preservation for benign colon tumors, and sphincter-saving surgery to avoid having a permanent colostomy for colorectal cancers and inflammatory bowel disease.
