About
Dr. Periklis Koukourikis is a leading figure in robotic surgery, with a particular focus on urological oncology and the advancement of surgical platforms. His major contributions center on evaluating the efficacy and safety of robotic systems for complex procedures, including robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy for high-complexity tumors. Notably, his work has been instrumental in comparing emerging robotic platforms—such as the Revo-i and da Vinci SP—against the established da Vinci system, demonstrating that newer technologies can achieve comparable oncologic and perioperative outcomes. With his most-cited paper, "Robotic surgical systems in urology: What is currently available?" (97 citations), Dr. Koukourikis has helped shape the conversation around the expanding role of robotics in surgery. His research on Retzius-sparing techniques and single-port approaches has pushed the boundaries of minimally invasive care, improving recovery and functional preservation for patients. Through studies like his propensity score analysis of Revo-i versus da Vinci, he has provided critical evidence for the adoption of new platforms, solidifying his reputation as a pioneer in the next generation of robotic surgery.
