About
Dr. P. Panousis is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work has significantly advanced the understanding of perioperative care in urologic oncology. Their major contributions center on leveraging large-scale national databases to compare the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive versus open surgical techniques. Using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database, Dr. Panousis produced landmark studies that have collectively garnered over 130 citations. Their 2013 paper on laparoscopic and robotic nephrectomy (69 citations) provided critical, population-level evidence on perioperative outcomes, while their companion study on prostatectomy (64 citations) offered similarly influential insights into complication rates and recovery metrics for these procedures. More recently, Dr. Panousis has expanded their focus to anesthesiology, investigating the effects of hyperoxia on ventilation during recovery from general anesthesia in a 2022 pilot study. This work demonstrates a broadening interest in optimizing the entire surgical patient journey, from the operating room to postoperative recovery. Through rigorous database analysis and clinical investigation, Dr. Panousis continues to shape evidence-based practices that improve patient safety and surgical outcomes.
