About
Kyriacos Evangelou is a pioneering colorectal surgeon whose work is redefining the boundaries of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery. His primary research focuses on expanding the technical frontiers of robotic colorectal procedures, with key contributions to natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) and the integration of artificial intelligence into the operating room. Evangelou’s landmark study on robotic NOTES colectomy demonstrated the feasibility of a truly “no-incision” approach, achieving reduced trauma and faster recovery—a potential paradigm shift in colorectal practice. He also leads the charge in applying robotic systems to emergency general surgery, a traditionally open-field domain, showing that robotic assistance can be safe and effective even in acute settings. In a world-first technical achievement, Evangelou implemented an AI-assisted augmented reality system for real-time instrument de-occlusion during robotic right hemicolectomy, merging machine vision with surgical precision. Though his most cited works are recent (2025), their early impact is significant, with citations already reflecting the field’s excitement. Evangelou’s work is not just incremental; it is visionary, positioning him as a key architect of the next generation of scarless, intelligent surgery.
