Christian Cotsoglou

About

Dr. Christian Cotsoglou is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), with a specific focus on emergency digestive and gastric procedures. His work is central to defining how laparoscopic and robotic techniques can be safely and effectively expanded beyond elective settings into acute surgical care. Dr. Cotsoglou’s major contributions include spearheading the development of structured training curricula for MIS in emergencies, as evidenced by his highly cited 2023 position paper for the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES), which has garnered 24 citations for its pivotal role in establishing proficiency benchmarks. He is also a key driver of the "I Go MILS" registry, a decade-long Italian initiative that serves as a critical tool for disseminating and characterizing minimally invasive liver surgery practices, with 12 citations. Through national surveys on behalf of the GIRCG, he has provided essential data on the current state of gastric MIS. Dr. Cotsoglou’s work is instrumental in bridging the gap between elective and emergency MIS, setting the standards for training and outcome measurement that are shaping the future of surgical practice.
