His research encompasses emergency surgery, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and benign proctology, with a focus on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) related to gastrointestinal recovery. Active projects explore small bowel obstruction, pancreatitis, and nutrition in emergency laparotomy. Lee's interests extend to elective surgery, including pilonidal disease, perioperative cardiovascular outcomes, and surgical site infection. His contributions to the field include work on acute mesenteric ischemia and postoperative management of perianal abscess cavities. Dr. Lee also investigates treatments and outcomes for anorectal disease, hernia repair, colorectal cancer surgery, and diverticular disease. He holds national leadership roles such as the Specialty Skills Lead (SSL) for Emergency General Surgery with the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland (ASGBI) and the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCSEng).
