Christos Georgalas

Christos Georgalas is a Professor of Surgery at the University of Nicosia Medical School, specializing in Otolaryngology and Skull Base Surgery. His research focuses on endoscopic approaches for sinonasal and skull base pathologies, outcomes of surgical interventions, and management of chronic rhinosinusitis. He has contributed extensively to consensus guidelines and classifications in endoscopic skull base surgery, including the International Endoscopic Sphenoid Surgery Classification (IESSC) and expert recommendations for chronic rhinosinusitis treatment.

His work emphasizes anatomical precision and patient outcomes, particularly in complex cases involving proximity to critical structures such as the internal carotid artery. Georgalas has published widely on surgical techniques, quality-of-life metrics post-surgery, and oncological management of sinonasal tumors. His research integrates anatomical, clinical, and technological advancements to improve surgical efficacy and reduce complications.

Key contributions include systematic reviews on nodal metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma and comparative analyses of treatments like transoral robotic surgery versus radiotherapy. He has also developed guidelines for posterior epistaxis management and explored sociodemographic factors in academic otolaryngology.
