«‘Live and learn’ once said the ancient Greek philosopher Solon – words which are not only timeless but still correspond perfectly with medical science. With knowledge, technology, and emerging procedures changing all the time, today’s doctor has to stay constantly aware and informed, following a continuous medical education in order to provide his patients with the best possible quality of medical services.
Dr. Marios Pedonomou studied Human Medicine at the University of Düsseldorf in Germany, completed his training in General Surgery in Germany, Cyprus and Greece, and gained the title of Specialist in Surgery in Athens, in 2002. He continued the specialisation in Minimally Invasive Surgery for a further two years, mainly in Greece, Germany and UK, and later in the USA, being privileged to undergo training in Laparoscopic and Bariatric Surgery from world-renowned doctors.
Dr. Pedonomou has been practising Minimally Invasive Surgery since 2004, employed firstly by the Lefkas General Hospital in Greece in order to introduce Laparoscopic Surgery to the Hospital. Having performed the first laparoscopic procedures in the history of the Hospital, he also held the responsibility for training his colleagues and personnel in laparoscopy. Returning to Cyprus, he spent almost a decade – first in Larnaca and then in Nicosia General Hospitals – successfully performing numerous laparoscopic and bariatric procedures.
Also highly involved in studies and research related to his field of interest, Dr. Pedonomou has presented his results at both major local and international congresses: his published research into surgery for obesity being the first and only ever work of its kind conducted in Cyprus. Engaged as the Head of Department for the Surgery for Obesity in Nicosia General Hospital, his responsibilities included laparoscopic adrenalectomies and advanced laparoscopic surgery. At the same time, he worked as part of the team of the Breast Clinic. Since 2015, he has been working in the Aretaeio Private Hospital in Nicosia.
Dr. Pedonomou’s academic qualifications include a PhD from the University of Düsseldorf Medical School (2003) and an MSc Title in Health Management from the Open University of Cyprus (2014). An enthusiastic participant in the teaching and education of surgical trainees since 2004, from 2013 he has been part of the Faculty of the University of Nicosia Medical School, which delivers the Medical Program of St. George’s University of London. He is currently Clinical Associate Professor of Surgery (2017).
Consistently awarded for his performances in surgical competitions and for his scientific work, Dr. Pedonomou has also been honored with grants and scholarships for postgraduate training in Minimally Invasive Surgery. His most appreciated recognition is the acknowledgement from the International Federation for the Surgery for Obesity of his contribution to Bariatric Surgery in Cyprus, and the invitation to represent his country at the First Mediterranean Obesity Summit. Since then, Dr. Pedonomou has been regarded as Founding Member of the Mediterranean Obesity Surgery Network.
“Love and passion for my work, integrity and necessity for continuous improvement for qualitative medical services with respect to humanism.”
