Dr. Antonios Ploumidis has studied medicine at the Belgian University “Ecole Médical de Université de Lovanium” of Central Africa. He graduated with “Excellent” grade and he was awarded top student in his year. He continued his education by obtaining a degree in Tropical Medicine and received his Doctorate with an “Excellent” grade.

He specialized at the University Hospital “King Edward” in Durban, South Africa and acquired the specialty of General Sur- geon. As a consultant he participated in research concerning parenteral diets, while his clinical work included extensive experience in surgical repair of thoracic and abdominal trauma. Furthermore, he acquired the specialty of Urology after specialization in the Department of Urology at the University “Natal Medical School”. In a time of great developments in the field of transplantation, he acquired a leading position in the Department of Kidney Transplantation of “Addington” Hospital as well as the Department of Urology at the “RK Khan” Hospital. His commitment to education included lectures to students and teaching open surgery and endourology to residents. He has visited many centers abroad (Belgium, France, Great Britain), where he trained in various surgical techniques.

After a decade of his stay in South Africa, he returned to Greece and in 1988 and became head of the Department of Urology in Athens Medical Center a position that he maintains until today. He is among the first Greek urologists that in 1992 acquired the title “Fellow of the European Board of Urology” after European exams.

In October 2006, he performed the first robotic nephrectomy in Greece at the “Athens Medical Center” (the first hospital in Greece to acquire the robotic system da Vinci). Since then he has carried out many robotic surgeries concerning both the upper urinary tract (nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, pyeloplasty, etc.) as well as the lower (radical prostatectomy and cystectomy, lymph node dissection etc.). He remains to this day vice president of the Hellenic Scientific Society of Robotic Surgery. He gives lectures and trains young urologists interested in robotic surgery in collaboration with the University of Athens and Intuitive (Workshop in Robotic Surgery).

He is updated continuously on scientific events, exchanging views with specialized centers with which he cooperates and participates in conferences in Europe and in the USA.
