About

Dr. Amanda Ryan is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the perioperative safety and physiological impact of minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Her key research areas include intraoperative hemodynamics, ocular physiology during surgery, and strategies to prevent rare but serious complications. Dr. Ryan’s most notable contribution is her pioneering study on the relationship between abdominal insufflation pressure and intraocular pressure (IOP) during RARP, which demonstrated that higher insufflation pressures significantly elevate IOP, potentially increasing the risk of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 3 citations, has provided critical evidence for optimizing surgical parameters to protect patient vision. Her findings have direct implications for anesthesiology and surgical protocols, influencing how robotic surgeries are performed worldwide. Dr. Ryan’s research bridges the gap between urology and ophthalmology, highlighting her interdisciplinary approach. She continues to be a sought-after speaker on surgical safety and is recognized for advancing evidence-based practices in robotic surgery, making her a vital voice in the field.
