About
Konstantinos P. Economopoulos is a leading figure in minimally invasive surgery, with a research focus on comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques across multiple surgical disciplines. His major contributions lie in conducting comprehensive meta-analyses that synthesize evidence on the clinical outcomes of these approaches. His most cited work, a 2016 meta-analysis on laparoscopic versus robotic adrenalectomy (126 citations), systematically evaluated the debated benefits of robotic adrenalectomy. He has extended this comparative methodology to bariatric surgery, with a 2015 meta-analysis on robotic versus laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (104 citations), and to hepatobiliary surgery, with a 2020 meta-analysis on major hepatectomy (103 citations). These high-impact studies, each garnering over 100 citations, have provided crucial data for surgeons weighing the advantages of robotic assistance, such as enhanced dexterity, against the established efficacy of laparoscopy. His work is notable for its rigorous systematic approach, helping to clarify best practices in complex surgical procedures.
