About

Theodoros Kozonis is a leading researcher in bariatric and metabolic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted procedures for morbid obesity. His major contribution centers on advancing the evidence base for robotic single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S), a complex and innovative surgical technique. In his most-cited systematic review, Kozonis synthesized global data to demonstrate the safety, efficacy, and technical advantages of the robotic approach, addressing the critical need for standardized outcomes in a rapidly evolving field. This work, published in 2024, has already garnered 5 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on clinical practice and surgical research. Kozonis’s research directly confronts the global obesity epidemic, which has tripled since 1975, by providing surgeons with data-driven insights to optimize patient outcomes. His contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between emerging robotic technology and evidence-based bariatric surgery, offering a roadmap for future studies. For students and researchers, Kozonis’s work exemplifies how systematic reviews can shape surgical innovation and improve the quality of care for millions affected by obesity worldwide.
