About

Konstantinos Spaniolas is a leading bariatric and general surgeon whose research focuses on the comparative safety, outcomes, and disparities in minimally invasive surgery, particularly robotic and laparoscopic approaches. His major contributions include landmark analyses of large-scale registries, such as the MBSAQIP, demonstrating the perioperative safety of robotic gastric bypass in early experience (68 citations) and documenting national trends in robotic bariatric surgery across over 46,000 patients (44 citations). He has also critically examined the impact of surgical trainees on bariatric safety (37 citations) and conducted extensive comparative studies on inguinal hernia repair, including a 153,727-patient New York state analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic/open outcomes (27 citations). Spaniolas’ work extends to health equity, revealing socioeconomic disparities in robotic hernia repair utilization (14 citations), and he has contributed to multisociety research collaborations on cholecystectomy timing after cholecystostomy (10 citations). His research is highly cited for its rigorous propensity-matched methodologies and real-world evidence, shaping clinical guidelines and informing surgical decision-making for safer, more equitable care.
