About

Dimitrios Patsouras is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a primary focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches in cardiac and colorectal surgery. His work systematically evaluates the comparative efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted procedures against traditional minimally invasive methods, providing critical evidence for surgical decision-making. His most influential contribution, a 2018 systematic review on the role of robotics in cardiac surgery, has garnered 49 citations, establishing a foundational reference for the field. More recently, his 2026 meta-analysis comparing robotic versus laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer adds to the growing body of evidence on robotic oncologic outcomes. Through rigorous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, Patsouras has helped clarify the benefits and limitations of robotic surgery, directly impacting clinical practice and guiding future research. His work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking evidence-based insights into the evolving landscape of robotic-assisted surgery.
