About

Dr. C. Kontopoulou is a leading researcher in bariatric and metabolic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted procedures for severe obesity. Her work centers on refining surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes in the treatment of morbid obesity, a condition that has reached epidemic proportions globally. Her most notable contribution is a comprehensive systematic review on robotic single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S), a cutting-edge procedure that combines restrictive and malabsorptive approaches. This 2024 review, already garnering 5 citations, critically evaluates the safety, efficacy, and technical nuances of the robotic approach, providing essential guidance for surgeons adopting this advanced technique. By synthesizing evidence on this emerging procedure, Dr. Kontopoulou has helped establish a foundation for future clinical practice and research. Her work directly addresses the pressing need for safer, more effective surgical solutions in the fight against the global obesity crisis, making her a valuable voice in the evolution of minimally invasive bariatric surgery.
