About

Marinos C. Makris is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive techniques and complex abdominal surgery. His primary research focus is the application of robotic technology to high-stakes procedures, particularly in hepatopancreatobiliary and vascular surgery. Dr. Makris’s most significant contribution is his comprehensive systematic review on total robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (2017), which has garnered 93 citations, establishing a foundational evidence base for this challenging operation. Beyond the operating room, he has made notable contributions to sports medicine, with a 15-year retrospective study (2020) on the endoscopic treatment of athletic pubalgia, providing crucial long-term outcome data for competitive athletes. His case report on the robotic resection of a giant retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma (2019) further demonstrates the expanding frontier of robotic surgery in managing rare, large tumors. Dr. Makris also authored a key review on the status of robotic vascular surgery within the abdominal cavity (2016), highlighting his broad expertise. Through these works, he has consistently advanced the field, proving that robotic assistance can reduce morbidity while expanding the scope of what is surgically possible.
