About

Panagiotis Dorovinis is a surgical researcher advancing the frontiers of minimally invasive oncologic surgery, with a focus on hepatobiliary and colorectal malignancies. His work centers on robotic-assisted and laparoscopic techniques for complex cancers, particularly colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases and perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA), the most common subtype of biliary tract cancer. Dorovinis’s major contributions include systematic reviews and meta-analyses that evaluate short-term outcomes and safety profiles of robotic versus open liver resection, providing evidence for the adoption of robotic approaches in high-risk procedures. His 2021 systematic review on simultaneous robotic-assisted resection of colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases (29 citations) has informed surgical decision-making for multidisciplinary teams. His 2022 meta-analysis comparing robotic to open liver resection (16 citations) further solidifies the role of minimally invasive techniques in improving recovery while maintaining oncologic rigor. More recently, his 2025 review on minimally invasive surgery for pCCA addresses the critical challenge of delayed diagnosis and the need for combined surgical and systemic therapy. Dorovinis’s work is pivotal for surgeons and researchers seeking to optimize outcomes through innovation in surgical oncology.
