About

Vaagn Andikyan is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and evaluating their clinical, economic, and environmental impacts. His major contributions lie in comparing robotic single-site surgery with conventional laparoscopy, demonstrating comparable clinical outcomes while analyzing cost-effectiveness in gynecologic procedures. Notably, his 2016 matched case-control study (28 citations) provided critical evidence on the trade-offs between robotic and traditional laparoscopic hysterectomies. More recently, Andikyan has broken new ground by investigating the carbon footprint of surgical care, as seen in his 2023 study (11 citations) quantifying carbon dioxide emissions from different hysterectomy modalities—a pioneering effort to integrate environmental sustainability into surgical decision-making. This work highlights his innovative approach to addressing global health challenges beyond patient outcomes. His technical expertise is further showcased in his 2021 description of a two-port robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy technique. With a career dedicated to refining surgical practice through rigorous comparative effectiveness research and environmental accountability, Andikyan is shaping a future where gynecologic surgery is both patient-centered and ecologically responsible.
