About
Panagiotis Nikolinakos is a pediatric urologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for treating congenital urological conditions in children. His most impactful work centers on comparing outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (PUJO). Through systematic reviews and meta-analyses, he has helped establish RALP as the current gold standard for pediatric pyeloplasty, demonstrating its superior outcomes over traditional approaches. His 2024 protocol paper, with 4 citations, provides a rigorous framework for evaluating these surgical modalities. Nikolinakos’s contributions are particularly significant in an era where robotic surgery is rapidly evolving, as his work offers evidence-based guidance for surgeons transitioning from open to minimally invasive techniques. By systematically analyzing complication rates, operative times, and success rates across approaches, he has helped define best practices in pediatric urology. His research directly impacts clinical decision-making for thousands of children with PUJO annually, and his work continues to shape the standard of care in pediatric robotic surgery.
