Ο Βουρεκάς Σταύρος, MD, FEBU, είναι Χειρουργός Ουρολόγος – Ρομποτικός Χειρουργός και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό ιατρείο στους Αμπελοκήπους, ενώ παράλληλα είναι Διευθυντής της Ζ΄ Ουρολογικής Κλινικής Ρομποτικής Χειρουργικής στο Metropolitan General. Έχει ολοκληρώσει την Ιατρική Σχολή Αθηνών και την ειδικότητα της Ουρολογίας στο Νοσοκομείο «Λαϊκό», ενώ έχει μετεκπαιδευθεί στη Ρομποτική Χειρουργική στο Karolinska University Hospital της Στοκχόλμης. Είναι Fellow of the European Board of Urology (FEBU) και διαθέτει πολυετή κλινική και χειρουργική εμπειρία στην αντιμετώπιση παθήσεων του ουροποιητικού και του ανδρικού αναπαραγωγικού συστήματος.

Το κύριο αντικείμενο της δραστηριότητάς του είναι η χειρουργική ουρολογία, με ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στη ρομποτική χειρουργική και στην αντιμετώπιση ουρολογικών παθήσεων που απαιτούν χειρουργική θεραπεία. Ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον παρουσιάζει η χειρουργική αντιμετώπιση του καρκίνου του προστάτη και η ρομποτική ριζική προστατεκτομή. Παράλληλα, ασχολείται με τη χειρουργική αντιμετώπιση παθήσεων και όγκων του νεφρού, της ουροδόχου κύστης και του ουρητήρα, καθώς και με τη λιθίαση του ουροποιητικού και τις παθήσεις του προστάτη. Ανάλογα με την πάθηση και τα ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά κάθε περιστατικού, εφαρμόζονται σύγχρονες χειρουργικές τεχνικές, όπως η ρομποτική, η λαπαροσκοπική, η ενδοσκοπική και, όπου απαιτείται, η ανοικτή χειρουργική.

Στον τομέα του καρκίνου του προστάτη, η προσέγγιση επικεντρώνεται στην εξατομικευμένη αξιολόγηση κάθε ασθενούς και στην επιλογή της κατάλληλης θεραπευτικής στρατηγικής. Όταν υπάρχει ένδειξη για χειρουργική αντιμετώπιση, η ρομποτική ριζική προστατεκτομή αποτελεί μία από τις βασικές χειρουργικές επιλογές, με στόχο την ογκολογικά ασφαλή αφαίρεση του όγκου και, όπου αυτό είναι εφικτό με βάση τα χαρακτηριστικά της νόσου, τη διατήρηση της εγκράτειας και της σεξουαλικής λειτουργίας. Η ίδια εξατομικευμένη προσέγγιση εφαρμόζεται και στις χειρουργικές παθήσεις του νεφρού, της ουροδόχου κύστης και του ουρητήρα, όπου η επιλογή της τεχνικής καθορίζεται από το είδος και την έκταση της νόσου, αλλά και από τη συνολική κατάσταση του ασθενούς.

Παράλληλα με τη χειρουργική του δραστηριότητα, ο Σταύρος Βουρεκάς ασχολείται με το σύνολο των παθήσεων της Ουρολογίας και της Ανδρολογίας, όπως την καλοήθη υπερπλασία του προστάτη, τη λιθίαση του ουροποιητικού, τις παθήσεις των νεφρών και της ουροδόχου κύστης, καθώς και προβλήματα ανδρικής σεξουαλικής υγείας. Στο πλαίσιο της διάγνωσης και της θεραπευτικής αντιμετώπισης πραγματοποιούνται οι απαραίτητες ουρολογικές εξετάσεις και μικροεπεμβάσεις, ενώ για τα περιστατικά που χρήζουν χειρουργικής θεραπείας ο ασθενής ενημερώνεται αναλυτικά για τις διαθέσιμες επιλογές και την καταλληλότερη μέθοδο αντιμετώπισης.

Η επιστημονική και επαγγελματική του πορεία περιλαμβάνει συμμετοχή σε επιστημονικές εργασίες και δραστηριότητα σε θέματα ουρολογικής ογκολογίας, χειρουργικής του προστάτη και ρομποτικής χειρουργικής. Η μετεκπαίδευσή του στο Karolinska University Hospital και η σημερινή του θέση ως Διευθυντή Κλινικής Ρομποτικής Χειρουργικής στο Metropolitan General αποτελούν σημαντικά στοιχεία της εξειδίκευσής του στη σύγχρονη χειρουργική Ουρολογία.
