About

Konstantinos S. Mylonas is a leading researcher in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, with a particular focus on adrenal, hepatic, and cardiac procedures. His work systematically evaluates the comparative effectiveness of traditional, laparoscopic, and robotic techniques, providing crucial evidence for surgical decision-making. His most influential work, a comprehensive meta-analysis comparing laparoscopic versus robotic adrenalectomy (126 citations), helped clarify the debated benefits of robotic approaches in adrenal surgery. He further expanded this line of inquiry with an economic analysis of open, laparoscopic, and robotic hepatectomy (37 citations), addressing the critical cost-effectiveness dimension of adopting new technologies. Most recently, Mylonas has turned his attention to cardiac surgery, conducting a patient-level meta-analysis of totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting, an emerging alternative to open heart surgery. Through rigorous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, Mylonas has become a key voice in evidence-based surgery, helping to define the optimal roles for robotic assistance across multiple surgical specialties.
