Nisotakis K. & Ch.: General Surgeon in Rafina
Choosing a surgeon starts with a simple question: who will operate, and what training stands behind them? Dr Konstantinos Nisotakis is a general surgeon in Rafina, East Attica, with a focus on laparoscopic, colorectal and breast surgery. He first joined the Asklepieia Health marketplace in September 2025. In 2026, Asklepieia and Dr Nisotakis renewed that partnership. This guide explains his training, the procedures he offers and how keyhole surgery works. It also shows how patients can review his profile before a first consultation.
A general surgeon in Rafina with a broad surgical scope
Dr Nisotakis practises general surgery with a special interest in mastology, the diagnosis and treatment of breast disease. His Asklepieia profile also lists surgical oncology, laparoscopic surgery and colorectal surgery. He treats complex gastrointestinal disease and manages emergency surgical cases.
This range matters for patients with more than one concern. One surgeon can assess a hernia, gallbladder disease or a breast lump, then plan the next step. Patients who want to compare options can browse the general surgeons listed on Asklepieia before they decide.
Training in Thessaloniki and London
Dr Nisotakis studied medicine at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki between 1983 and 1990. He completed his specialist training in general surgery with a final examination in July 2000.
In 2006, he worked as a Clinical Fellow in the Colorectal Department of King’s College Hospital in London. There, in January 2007, he earned a postgraduate qualification in three areas:
- laparoscopic colorectal resections
- transanal endoscopic microsurgery
- complex gastrointestinal disease
He has also attended postgraduate courses in breast cancer, thyroid cancer, laparoscopic oncological surgery, and trauma and emergency surgery. His publications include papers in Hernia, the ANZ Journal of Surgery and the American Journal of Surgery. The most recent, from 2023, appeared in Molecular Cancer and concerns targeted cancer therapy.
Military surgery and hospital affiliations
Dr Nisotakis graduated from the Military Corps Officers School in 1990. His military career included service as an emergency physician at the 401 General Military Hospital of Athens. He also headed the health service at the Recruitment Centre in Rethymno. As a surgeon, he worked in the surgical departments of 401 and 417 NIMTS, the Army Share Fund Hospital.
His listed affiliations include the 6th Department of General Surgery at Henry Dunant Hospital Center. He also collaborates with private hospitals in Athens, including Metropolitan, Mitera, Athinaiki Clinic and Bioclinic. He runs his own surgical practice in Rafina together with Dr Christos Nisotakis. The practice, Nisotakis K. & Ch., also has a listing on Asklepieia.
Procedures he offers through Asklepieia
Dr Nisotakis’s Asklepieia profile lists nine surgical services. Patients can send a request to book for each one:
- Hernia repair surgery
- Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal)
- Appendicectomy (appendix removal)
- Colectomy
- Upper gastrointestinal procedures
- Haemorrhoidectomy
- Mastectomy
- Biopsy
- Minor surgery
The practice also offers teleconsultation through the platform. A video call lets patients abroad discuss their case before they travel.
How laparoscopic surgery works
Surgeons can carry out several of these procedures with keyhole techniques. The NHS describes laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) as surgery through small incisions, using a camera called a laparoscope. Surgeons use it to remove organs such as the appendix or gallbladder and to repair hernias. According to the NHS, surgeons often recommend it because recovery is faster than after open surgery.
Hernia repair shows how the choice works in practice. The NHS guide to inguinal hernia repair describes two options: keyhole surgery or open surgery through a single larger incision. The right approach depends on the size and position of the hernia and on the patient’s general health. The surgeon makes that choice with the patient at consultation. Laparoscopic surgery is one of the areas of expertise listed on Dr Nisotakis’s profile.
Why a renewed partnership matters to patients
Dr Nisotakis first joined Asklepieia in September 2025, as our announcement of the collaboration explained at the time. In 2026, both sides chose to continue the partnership.
A renewal gives patients a useful signal. It shows a working relationship that has lasted beyond a first year. His training, affiliations and services remain together on one profile.
Asklepieia does not provide medical care. The platform connects patients with listed specialists and helps them arrange the next step. Clinical decisions stay between the patient and the surgeon.
