About

Dr. Stylianos Kykalos is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a primary focus on hepatobiliary and colorectal oncology, as well as bariatric surgery. His research systematically evaluates the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted procedures against traditional open and laparoscopic approaches. A key contribution is his work on the simultaneous robotic-assisted resection of colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases, a complex procedure that his 2021 systematic review (29 citations) helped validate. Dr. Kykalos has also authored a comprehensive meta-analysis on short-term outcomes of robotic versus open liver resection (16 citations), providing crucial evidence for the field. Beyond oncology, he has explored robotic approaches for metabolic surgery, such as the SADI-S procedure for morbid obesity. His work extends to rare conditions, including a detailed systematic review on the epidemiology and management of tailgut cysts (18 citations), and a review of minimally invasive surgery for the challenging perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. Through these contributions, Dr. Kykalos is shaping the future of surgical practice by demonstrating the expanding role of robotics in improving patient outcomes.
