About

Evangelia Triantafyllou is a pioneering surgeon whose work bridges the gap between emerging robotic technologies and clinical practice in hepatobiliary surgery. Her research focuses on the adoption, learning curve, and outcomes of robotic-assisted procedures, particularly cholecystectomy. In her highly cited 2024 paper, "Robotic-assisted cholecystectomy: stepping stone to expertise or vogue?"—which has already garnered 2 citations—she critically examines whether robotic platforms serve as genuine tools for surgical mastery or merely represent a passing trend. This work underscores her commitment to evidence-based evaluation of surgical innovation, challenging the field to move beyond hype and toward rigorous assessment of skill acquisition and patient benefit. Triantafyllou’s contributions are vital for shaping training protocols and guiding surgeons in the safe integration of robotics. Her analysis not only informs current practice but also sets a benchmark for future studies on surgical expertise. For students and researchers, her work offers a clear-eyed perspective on how technology can—or should—transform operative care, making her a key voice in the evolution of modern surgery.
