About
Lotte M. C. Jacobs is a clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation and patient physiology, with a primary focus on urologic oncology and perioperative care. Her most impactful contribution to date is a landmark 2024 randomised controlled trial investigating the effects of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. In this study, she demonstrated that using deep neuromuscular block to facilitate lower intra-abdominal pressure can significantly improve patients’ quality of recovery, preserve immune function, and enhance parietal perfusion during surgery. This work, already garnering 7 citations shortly after publication, challenges long-standing surgical conventions and offers a practical, evidence-based pathway to reduce the physiological burden of minimally invasive procedures. Jacobs’ research is notable for its direct clinical applicability—her findings have immediate implications for how surgeons manage insufflation pressure in robotic pelvic surgery. By rigorously linking a technical anaesthetic adjustment (deep NMB) to measurable improvements in immune preservation and recovery quality, she has carved out a distinct niche in surgical outcomes research. Her work is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to optimise the balance between surgical access and patient well-being in the era of robotic surgery.
