About

Liliana Sollazzi is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on the perioperative management of elderly and frail patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery. Her work is pivotal in understanding how extreme surgical positions—such as steep Trendelenburg—combined with pneumoperitoneum, impact cardiovascular and cerebral physiology in vulnerable populations. In a highly cited 2023 study (13 citations), she systematically analyzed the hemodynamic challenges of robotic surgery in the elderly, highlighting falls in cardiac output that demand tailored anesthetic strategies. Sollazzi also pioneered the use of the Modified Frailty Index (mFI) to predict complications in older women with endometrial cancer undergoing minimally invasive surgery; this multicenter observational study (10 citations) provides a validated tool for preoperative risk stratification. Her investigation into the relationship between middle cerebral artery pulsatility index and delayed neurocognitive recovery after robot-assisted prostatectomy (3 citations) breaks new ground in linking intraoperative cerebral blood flow alterations to postoperative cognitive disorders. Collectively, Sollazzi’s work bridges geriatric anesthesia, surgical physiology, and neuroprotection, offering evidence-based frameworks that improve safety and outcomes for the growing population of elderly surgical patients.
