About
Nikolaos Machairas is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic and minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on hepatobiliary, pancreatic, and colorectal oncology. His work has been instrumental in demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted approaches for complex procedures. His landmark 2019 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robotic to open liver resection (57 citations) provided critical evidence that robotic surgery offers superior short-term outcomes, such as reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays. Machairas has also made significant contributions to pancreatic surgery, notably through his 2016 comparison of minimally invasive versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy (39 citations), and to colorectal surgery, where he has explored the impact of obesity and operative time on postoperative outcomes. His research extends to the simultaneous robotic resection of colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases (29 citations), showcasing a commitment to advancing multi-organ, minimally invasive strategies. With over 250 total citations, Machairas is a key voice in the evolution of robotic surgery, particularly in Greece and Cyprus, where he has helped shape the adoption of these technologies.
