About
Nancy Hadjievangelou is a surgeon whose work has been pivotal in navigating the complex intersection of surgical practice and public health crises. Her key research areas include robotic surgery, colorectal and urological oncology, and perioperative service redesign. She is best known for her influential 2020 paper, "Establishing a 'cold' elective unit for robotic colorectal and urological cancer surgery and regional vascular surgery following the initial COVID-19 surge," which has garnered 13 citations. This work provided a critical blueprint for maintaining safe, high-volume cancer and vascular surgeries during the pandemic’s disruption, demonstrating how to rapidly reorganize surgical services to protect patients and staff. By detailing the creation of a dedicated “cold” elective unit, Hadjievangelou offered a replicable model that helped sustain essential operations when healthcare systems were overwhelmed. Her contribution stands as a testament to adaptive leadership in surgery, ensuring that patients with life-threatening conditions continued to receive timely, robotic-assisted care even under unprecedented constraints. This paper remains a key reference for hospital administrators and surgeons planning for future surge scenarios.
