About
Franziska von Breunig is a clinical anesthesiologist and perioperative researcher whose work focuses on the impact of surgical positioning and anesthetic management on patient outcomes in urologic oncology. Her most influential studies compare robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in the extreme Trendelenburg position with open retropubic radical prostatectomy. She has systematically investigated how this steep head-down tilt affects cerebral autoregulation, postoperative cognitive function, and delirium in the post-anesthesia care unit. Her 2019 paper on intra- and postoperative analgesia during RARP has garnered 22 citations, while her 2020 work on cerebral autoregulation (20 citations) provided critical insight into the physiological risks of prolonged Trendelenburg positioning. During the early COVID-19 pandemic, she contributed to the Martini-Klinik’s experience adapting prostate cancer surgery protocols, a paper with 15 citations that helped guide surgical triage. Von Breunig’s research bridges anesthesiology and urology, offering evidence-based guidance for optimizing perioperative care in minimally invasive prostate surgery.
