About
Don Milliken is a leading anaesthetist whose work focuses on the perioperative management of patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery. His major contribution lies in defining and standardising anaesthetic protocols for complex urological procedures, most notably through his landmark national survey on the anaesthetic management for robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. This 2020 study, which has garnered 7 citations, was the first of its kind in the UK, providing a crucial snapshot of contemporary practice and identifying key variations in airway management, fluid therapy, and neuromuscular blockade. By mapping the landscape of care, Milliken’s research has directly informed clinical guidelines and helped improve patient safety and outcomes in a rapidly evolving surgical field. His work is particularly valued for its practical, evidence-based approach, offering clear recommendations to anaesthetists navigating the unique challenges of steep Trendelenburg positioning and pneumoperitoneum. Milliken’s survey remains a foundational reference for trainees and specialists alike, underscoring his role as a key voice in the advancement of robotic surgery anaesthesia.
