About
Ida Mykkeltveit is a dedicated researcher whose work centers on perioperative patient safety, with a particular focus on the prevention of intraoperative peripheral nerve injuries. Her most notable contribution is a landmark systematic review, published in 2019, which rigorously examined the incidence and risk factors of nerve injury related to the lithotomy position with steep Trendelenburg during robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery. This highly cited work (36 citations) has become a key reference for clinicians and surgical teams, providing critical evidence on how patient positioning can lead to lasting functional deficits and diminished quality of life. By synthesizing data from multiple studies, Mykkeltveit has helped illuminate the specific symptoms and risk profiles associated with this complication, directly informing safer surgical protocols. Her research bridges a vital gap between surgical technique and patient outcomes, underscoring the importance of meticulous positioning to prevent avoidable harm. Through this systematic review, she has established herself as a thoughtful voice in perioperative nursing and surgical safety, offering actionable insights that resonate with both researchers and practitioners striving to improve patient care in the operating room.
