About

Isabella Fratti is an emerging researcher whose work focuses on perioperative anesthesiology and intraoperative management, with a particular emphasis on mechanical ventilation strategies and the physiological challenges posed by minimally invasive surgical techniques. Her research has made meaningful contributions to the understanding of how anesthesiologists should navigate the complex pathophysiological consequences of robotic-assisted and video-assisted surgical procedures. Fratti's most impactful work, a 2023 narrative review on ventilation strategies during urological and gynaecological robotic-assisted surgery, has garnered 26 citations, reflecting its relevance to a rapidly growing surgical field. She has further extended this expertise to robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy — now the second most commonly performed robotic procedure worldwide — offering anesthesiologists practical intraoperative guidance. Her 2025 review on ventilatory strategies in video-assisted thoracic surgery addresses postoperative complications that affect up to 10% of patients, synthesizing best available evidence for clinicians working in thoracic settings. Though early in her publishing career, Fratti's focused body of work positions her as a valuable voice in perioperative medicine, particularly as robotic surgery continues its global expansion and demands increasingly sophisticated anesthetic expertise.
