About

Nikos Dimitrokallis is a bariatric surgeon whose work centers on the application of robotic technology in the treatment of morbid obesity. His most-cited study, "Robotic sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity: report of a 5 year experience" (2015, 14 citations), provides a critical long-term analysis of robotic sleeve gastrectomy outcomes, demonstrating the procedure's efficacy and safety. This work helped establish robotics as a viable tool in sleeve gastrectomy, expanding the surgical arsenal beyond traditional laparoscopic approaches. Dimitrokallis’s research addresses a key gap in the literature, as robotic benefits were previously better documented for gastric bypass. By reporting a five-year experience, he offers valuable data on durability and complication rates, informing clinical decision-making. His contributions underscore the growing role of minimally invasive techniques in bariatric surgery, and his findings continue to guide surgeons adopting robotic platforms. Dimitrokallis’s work is a practical resource for clinicians and researchers seeking evidence on long-term robotic sleeve gastrectomy outcomes.
