About
Aristotelis Perrakis is a pioneering hepatobiliary and minimally invasive surgeon whose research has significantly shaped the adoption and standardization of robotic liver surgery, particularly within Germany and the broader European surgical community. His work spans robotic and laparoscopic hepatic and pancreatic resections, intraoperative fluorescence imaging, and surgical education, making him a central figure in advancing next-generation operative techniques. Perrakis is perhaps best recognized for his early leadership in implementing robotic liver surgery in Germany, with foundational publications from 2015 and 2016 accumulating over 100 citations and establishing benchmarks for safety and feasibility. His comparative analyses of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches — including outcomes for colorectal liver metastases — have informed surgical decision-making at high-volume academic centers. His work on indocyanine green fluorescence angiography has further refined intraoperative tumor visualization in minimally invasive settings. Beyond technical innovation, Perrakis has contributed meaningfully to surgical training through the development of the RoboticCurriculum for young Surgeons (RoCS), reflecting a commitment to structured competency-building in robotic surgery. His learning curve analyses and meta-analytic work on R0 resection outcomes underscore a rigorous, evidence-based approach. With publications spanning over a decade and collectively garnering hundreds of citations, Perrakis represents a leading voice in the evolution of minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery.
