About
Nikolaos Liakos is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, with particular expertise in radical prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, and radical cystectomy. His research has made meaningful contributions to understanding how patient-specific and surgeon-related factors influence surgical outcomes in robotic urology. Notably, his multicenter analysis of 2,500 patients examining the role of prior surgical experience in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (28 citations) has provided practical guidance for training and credentialing programs. His investigations into robot-assisted radical prostatectomy have been especially prolific, addressing nuanced clinical scenarios including elderly patients aged 75 and above (22 citations), those with prior transurethral procedures (20 citations), obese patients (18 citations), and individuals with significant lower urinary tract symptoms (20 citations). His atlas of intracorporeal neobladder techniques following robotic cystectomy (29 citations) stands as his most-cited contribution, offering a comprehensive technical reference for reconstructive surgeons. Liakos has also contributed to robotic surgical education, evaluating assessment tools in a randomized controlled trial. With a growing citation record spanning clinical outcomes, surgical training, and quality of life, his work is increasingly influential across academic urology programs worldwide.
