About

Sotirios Georgios Popeskou is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic and pancreatic surgery. His major contributions center on standardizing training protocols to ensure the safe adoption of robotic rectal cancer surgery, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2018 paper (56 citations), which outlines a structured training pathway for surgeons across multiple centers. This work has been instrumental in improving surgical outcomes and reducing variability in robotic procedures. Additionally, his 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis (23 citations) compares minimally-invasive versus open pancreatic enucleation, providing critical evidence on short-term outcomes that guides clinical decision-making. Popeskou’s impact is reflected in the growing citation of his work, which informs both surgical education and practice. His achievements include pioneering structured training programmes that have been adopted internationally, enhancing patient safety and surgical precision. For students and researchers, Popeskou’s research exemplifies the integration of rigorous training standards with innovative surgical techniques, offering a blueprint for advancing minimally invasive surgery and improving patient care.
