About
Sergio D. Bergese is a leading anesthesiologist and clinical researcher whose work centers on perioperative medicine, surgical outcomes, and patient safety, with a particular focus on the physiological challenges posed by robotic surgery. He has made significant contributions to understanding how surgical positioning and technique affect recovery and organ function. His highly cited 2016 study (20 citations) prospectively compared postoperative pain and quality of recovery in patients undergoing robotic versus open hysterectomy for endometrial cancer staging, providing critical evidence that robotic approaches can improve patient comfort and recovery trajectories. Dr. Bergese further advanced the field with his 2020 investigation (12 citations) into the effects of steep Trendelenburg positioning during robotic prostatectomy and hysterectomy on intraocular pressure (IOP). This work highlighted a critical safety concern, documenting significant IOP increases and their potential long-term structural and functional ocular impacts. By bridging anesthesiology, surgical innovation, and ophthalmology, Dr. Bergese’s research has directly informed safer perioperative protocols, helping to mitigate risks for thousands of patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures. His work remains essential reading for clinicians and researchers striving to optimize surgical outcomes.
