About

Emmanouil Pikoulis is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery and minimally invasive techniques, with a particular focus on breast reconstruction, bariatric surgery, and endocrine procedures. His major contributions include advancing robotic-assisted harvest of the latissimus dorsi muscle flap for breast reconstruction, a technique that offers patients improved cosmetic outcomes and reduced donor-site morbidity. Pikoulis has also systematically evaluated the role of robotics in parathyroidectomy and sleeve gastrectomy, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of these approaches in treating hyperparathyroidism and morbid obesity. His five-year experience with robotic sleeve gastrectomy, reported in 2015, provides valuable long-term data on outcomes for this increasingly popular procedure. With over 70 total citations across his most-cited works, Pikoulis’s research has helped shape the evidence base for robotic surgery in general surgery and gynecologic oncology. His systematic reviews on minimally invasive lymphadenectomy in cervical cancer and robotic single-port cholecystography further underscore his commitment to refining surgical approaches that reduce invasiveness while maintaining oncologic and functional outcomes.
