About
Panagiotis Stathakis is a pioneering surgeon advancing the field of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on robotic distal pancreatectomy. His work centers on evaluating the feasibility, safety, and technical nuances of emerging robotic platforms, most notably the Versius system. In his landmark 2024 study, a prospective stage 2a IDEAL case series, Stathakis demonstrated that robotic distal pancreatectomy using Versius is both safe and reproducible, providing critical early evidence for its adoption. This contribution is foundational, as it addresses a key gap in the literature regarding the use of novel robotic systems in complex abdominal procedures. Though early in its citation impact, this work is poised to influence surgical protocols and training. Stathakis’s research is characterized by rigorous methodology and a commitment to the IDEAL framework, which systematically guides the development and evaluation of surgical innovations. His efforts are shaping the next generation of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, offering patients safer, less invasive options while equipping surgeons with evidence-based techniques.
