About
Haissam Ragab is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of anesthesiology, surgical positioning, and perioperative neurocognitive outcomes. His key research areas include cerebral autoregulation during robotic surgery and postoperative delirium in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). Ragab’s major contributions center on understanding how extreme surgical positions—such as the prolonged head-down Trendelenburg position used in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy—affect cerebral hemodynamics and patient recovery. In a prospective observational study (2020, 20 citations), he demonstrated that this positioning can impair cerebral autoregulation, raising concerns about intracranial pressure management during minimally invasive procedures. His related work on PACU delirium (2020, 14 citations) compared robot-assisted versus open prostatectomy, revealing that the extreme Trendelenburg position may influence early postoperative cognitive disturbances. These findings have practical implications for surgical planning and anesthetic management in urologic oncology. Ragab’s research is notable for its direct clinical relevance, bridging the gap between surgical technique and patient safety. His work is frequently cited by anesthesiologists and urologic surgeons seeking to optimize perioperative care for prostate cancer patients.
