Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Emmaouil Giorgakis's research focuses on surgical outcomes and healthcare system strengthening, particularly in the context of global health challenges. Giorgakis has contributed to studies investigating mortality and pulmonary complications in patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the development and validation of a surgical preparedness index across numerous hospitals worldwide. Their work also includes assessing the impact of COVID-19 on liver cancer management and exploring surgical outcomes for gallbladder cancer through international cohort studies.

Further research interests involve reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale and developing risk indices for liver transplantation from donors after cardiac death. Giorgakis has also been involved in studies examining the safety of kidney transplantation from donors with HIV and analyzing pancreatic surgery outcomes across multiple countries.
