Adrian-Hennig Treiber

About

Adrian-Hennig Treiber’s research focuses on the intersection of anesthesiology and neurosurgery, specifically investigating how surgical positioning and pneumoperitoneum affect cerebral physiology. His major contributions center on cerebrovascular autoregulation and cerebral oxygenation during robotic-assisted prostatic surgery, where patients are placed in an extreme Trendelenburg position (head-down tilt). In his highly cited 2013 study (62 citations), Treiber demonstrated that this positioning, combined with CO₂ pneumoperitoneum, can impair cerebrovascular autoregulation, raising concerns about potential cerebral hyperemia and brain edema during hypertensive episodes. Complementing this, his 2013 work (41 citations) showed that despite these risks, cerebral oxygenation—measured via two different monitors—remains stable, suggesting a nuanced protective mechanism. Treiber’s research has been pivotal for perioperative safety protocols, influencing guidelines for robotic surgery and neuroanesthesia. His work is widely referenced by clinicians and researchers exploring cerebral hemodynamics under extreme physiological conditions, underscoring its impact on both surgical practice and patient outcomes.
