About
Signe Berit Bentsen is a leading researcher in perioperative nursing and patient safety, with a specialized focus on the prevention of positioning-related injuries during robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Her work critically examines the intersection of advanced surgical technology and fundamental nursing care, particularly concerning the lithotomy position with steep Trendelenburg. In her highly cited 2019 systematic review (36 citations), Bentsen provided a seminal analysis of the incidence, risk factors, and functional outcomes of intraoperative peripheral nerve injuries, establishing a crucial evidence base for clinical practice. She further advanced the field with her 2022 qualitative study (16 citations), which gave voice to operating room nurses, exploring their experiences and the heightened demands placed on their competence to ensure patient safety and care quality amidst technological evolution. By combining rigorous systematic review with insightful qualitative research, Bentsen has illuminated a critical gap in surgical safety, directly influencing protocols to mitigate nerve damage and improve patient outcomes. Her work stands as a vital resource for perioperative teams, underscoring the indispensable role of nursing expertise in the era of robotic surgery.
