He has organized and directed the multi-disciplinary teams of physicians and nurses who have separated five sets of conjoined twins.

Currently, Dr. Stylianos is an elected member of the Board of Governors of the American Pediatric Surgical Association, a site verification officer of the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma and serves on the American Pediatric Surgical Association Foundation's Board of Directors as Treasurer. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, Associate Editor of the Journal of Pediatric Surgery and served on the Executive Board as a founding member of the Pediatric Trauma Society.
