About

Andreas Polydorou is a pioneering colorectal surgeon at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and robotics into minimally invasive surgery. His research focuses on expanding the boundaries of surgical technology, with major contributions including the first robotic CME in Europe with augmented reality tools, and the world’s first live AI-assisted AR robotic colon surgery featuring real-time instrument deocclusion. Polydorou has also demonstrated the feasibility of robotic natural orifice transluminal extraction colectomy and no-incision colectomy, pushing toward truly scarless surgery. His work in emergency general surgery further proves the safety and effectiveness of robotic-assisted approaches in acute settings. With papers published in 2021 and 2025, his most cited work has already garnered attention, and his groundbreaking live surgical demonstrations have positioned him as a global innovator. Polydorou’s achievements are not just technical—they represent a paradigm shift in how surgeons visualize and perform complex procedures, offering students and researchers a glimpse into the future of surgery where AI and AR become standard tools for precision and safety.
