About

Dr. Eleftherios Mantonakis is a pioneering bariatric surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic metabolic surgery. His key research focuses on the application of robotic technology in bariatric procedures, particularly sleeve gastrectomy for the treatment of morbid obesity. Dr. Mantonakis is best known for his landmark study reporting a five-year experience with robotic sleeve gastrectomy, which demonstrated the procedure's long-term efficacy and safety. This work, cited over a dozen times, provided crucial evidence that robotic assistance could offer advantages in precision and outcomes for this major bariatric operation, helping to establish robotic sleeve gastrectomy as a viable and effective surgical option. His contributions have been instrumental in expanding the surgeon's arsenal for combating obesity, bridging the gap between traditional laparoscopic techniques and advanced robotic systems. By rigorously documenting outcomes and refining surgical protocols, Dr. Mantonakis has helped shape modern bariatric practice, offering patients a less invasive path to significant, sustained weight loss. His research continues to influence how surgeons approach metabolic surgery, making him a respected authority in the integration of robotics into gastrointestinal procedures.
