About
Dr. Manfred Berres is a leading researcher in anesthesiology and perioperative neurophysiology, with a focused expertise on the cerebral effects of surgical positioning. His major contributions center on the safety of robotic-assisted prostatic surgery, specifically investigating how the extreme Trendelenburg position (head-down tilt) combined with CO₂ pneumoperitoneum impacts brain function. Dr. Berres’s landmark 2013 study, cited 62 times, provided critical insights into the time course of cerebrovascular autoregulation during this procedure, revealing potential risks for cerebral hyperemia and edema when autoregulation is impaired. Complementing this, his 41-cited 2013 work demonstrated that despite these physiological stresses, cerebral oxygenation remains stable when measured using two different monitors, offering reassurance for clinical practice. By systematically evaluating both the risks and safeguards of this common surgical technique, Dr. Berres has helped establish evidence-based guidelines for patient monitoring. His work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient safety, making him a key authority on the cerebral consequences of extreme positioning in modern urologic surgery.
