A milestone in surgical care — first pan-European use of the 90° articulation powered stapler!

We are delighted to report that recently, one of our patients undergoing a laparoscopic anterior resection for re**al cancer became the first in Europe to benefit from the world-first 90° articulation powered stapler.

🔍 Why it matters:
• This stapler can articulate 90°, giving surgeons better access and precision in tight pelvic anatomy.
• It enhances surgical safety and may reduce trauma in challenging anatomical zones.
• Integrates seamlessly into minimally invasive (laparoscopic) workflows.

A huge step forward for colore**al surgery and patient care offered by our team.

🌍✈️ Honoured to have attended the Colore**al Tripartite Meeting 2025 in Paris, one of the world’s leading gatherings in colore**al surgery.

This unique forum brought together experts from across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Australasia to share the latest evidence, surgical innovations, and best practices in the management of colore**al disease.

Grateful for the opportunity to exchange knowledge, discuss challenging cases, and bring back new insights that will directly benefit my patients.

💡 Continuous learning and collaboration with international colleagues remain at the heart of advancing patient care.

Σήμερα είχα τη τιμή να είμαι προσκεκλημένος στο πρόγραμμα “Υγεία και Ζωή” του Capital TV. Θα ήθελα να ευχαριστήσω από καρδιάς την πεπειραμένη παρουσιάστρια κα Νίκη Λαζαρίδου. Το θέμα μας σήμερα ήταν “Καρκίνος του παχέος εντέρου και ορθού” που πιστεύω θα ενδιαφέρει πάρα πολλούς από εσάς!

Extraordinary 2024

As we reflect on an extraordinary 2024, we’re thrilled to celebrate the milestones we have achieved - advancing medical knowledge, promoting collaboration, and breaking surgical barriers.

Our personal audit has shown that this year we have managed to exceed expectations by undertaking over 150 major colore**al procedures, 85% in patients suffering with malignancy, completed in 97% of cases laparoscopically, where applicable. We cared for patients as old as 94 years old and as young as 19 years old, with the median age of our patients being 71 years old. Our 30-day mortality and morbidity outcomes were better or comparable to the national averages of advanced countries such as the United Kingdom (NBOCA audit) and the United States, reflecting the high standards of our practice and encouraging us to continue providing care of the highest level to our patients.

2024 also saw our first Cypriot patients declared cancer free, after finishing their 5-year surveillance programme following their cancer surgery. These achievements would not have been possible without the trust bestowed upon us by our patients and their families, to whom we would like to send our best wishes and message of care and empowerment, especially to those still fighting with their disease.

Last but not least, we would like to thank our nursing staff, colleagues, work-partners and families for their constant and unwavering support.
