About

Christos Damaskos is a pioneering surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in the fields of gastric, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, and bariatric surgery. His major contributions include landmark systematic reviews and meta-analyses that compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic, robotic, and open approaches for complex procedures. Notably, his 2016 study comparing minimally invasive versus open gastrectomy for gastric cancer in Europe (46 citations) provided critical evidence supporting the adoption of less invasive methods, while his parallel work on pancreaticoduodenectomy (39 citations) helped clarify the role of robotics in high-risk abdominal surgery. Damaskos also made a significant impact with his analysis of iatrogenic biliary injury during robotic cholecystectomy (32 citations), highlighting important safety considerations for surgeons adopting robotic platforms. More recently, his 2024 systematic review on robotic single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) for morbid obesity (5 citations) and his 2025 meta-analysis on robot-assisted versus open partial nephrectomy (2 citations) demonstrate his ongoing commitment to evaluating emerging technologies. With a career dedicated to evidence-based surgical innovation, Damaskos has shaped clinical practice by rigorously comparing outcomes, ultimately guiding surgeons toward safer, more effective patient care.
