About
Dr. Viera Kulikova is a leading figure in minimally invasive surgery, with a primary focus on advancing splenectomy techniques. Her major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the perioperative outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic splenectomy, a critical area where comparative data were previously scarce. Her landmark 2021 systematic review, which has garnered 2 citations, meticulously analyzed the potential advantages of robotic assistance—such as enhanced dexterity and visualization—over traditional laparoscopic methods. This work provides a foundational evidence base for surgeons considering the transition to robotic platforms, highlighting differences in operative time, blood loss, and complication rates. Beyond this core study, Dr. Kulikova’s research portfolio consistently addresses the optimization of surgical approaches to improve patient recovery and safety. Her work is particularly notable for its rigorous methodology and its direct impact on clinical decision-making in elective splenectomy. By clarifying the trade-offs between robotic and laparoscopic techniques, she has helped shape modern surgical practice, offering clear guidance for both novice and experienced surgeons navigating the evolving landscape of minimally invasive surgery.
