About
Nalan Saygı Emir is a pioneering anesthesiologist whose research focuses on the perioperative management of patients undergoing advanced robotic and laparoscopic surgeries. Her major contributions lie in understanding the physiological impacts of these minimally invasive techniques, particularly the steep Trendelenburg position and carbon dioxide insufflation used in robotic procedures. Her most cited work, a 2021 prospective study, investigates how these factors affect intraocular pressure and optic nerve sheath diameter during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, providing critical safety insights for anesthesiologists. With 14 citations, this study has become a key reference for clinicians managing ocular risks in robotic surgery. Dr. Emir has also advanced the field of transoral robotic thyroidectomy, reporting early institutional results that help refine scarless thyroid surgery techniques. Additionally, her comparative analysis of anesthesia experiences during robot-assisted laparoscopic kidney transplantation has informed best practices for this complex procedure. Through her focused research on the anesthetic challenges of robotic surgery, Dr. Emir has significantly contributed to patient safety and surgical innovation in endocrine and urologic surgery.
