About
Gary Mills is a leading clinical researcher in perioperative medicine, with a focused expertise in the respiratory management of patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). His work critically examines the intersection of surgical innovation and patient safety, specifically addressing the elevated risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in this rapidly growing field. Mills spearheaded the landmark international, multicentre observational study "AVATaR," which systematically assessed ventilatory management during general anaesthesia for robotic procedures. His most cited paper (29 citations) provided foundational data on ventilation strategies and outcomes, while his subsequent 2025 study (11 citations) delivered a pivotal comparative analysis, demonstrating that PPCs are significantly more frequent in RAS than in conventional laparoscopic surgery. By quantifying this risk and detailing the physiological challenges of pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning, Mills has provided anaesthesiologists and surgeons with critical evidence to refine perioperative protocols. His work is essential reading for clinicians seeking to balance the benefits of robotic technology with robust pulmonary protection, establishing him as a key voice in the safe evolution of minimally invasive surgery.
