About
Marianna Mazza is a clinical researcher whose work bridges anesthesiology, neurophysiology, and perioperative cognitive health. Her primary research focus is on the impact of surgical positioning and anesthetic techniques on cerebral hemodynamics and postoperative cognitive outcomes. In her most cited study, Mazza investigated the relationship between middle cerebral artery pulsatility index and delayed neurocognitive recovery in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy—a procedure requiring a steep Trendelenburg position combined with pneumoperitoneum. This work addresses a critical gap in understanding how surgical positioning may alter cerebral blood flow and contribute to postoperative cognitive disorders. With 3 citations, this paper represents her most recognized contribution to date, highlighting the clinical relevance of monitoring cerebral perfusion during minimally invasive surgeries. Mazza’s research is particularly valuable for anesthesiologists and surgeons seeking to mitigate neurocognitive risks in vulnerable patient populations. Her findings underscore the importance of integrating cerebral hemodynamic assessments into perioperative protocols, positioning her as an emerging voice in the field of neuroanesthesia and postoperative cognitive care.
