About

Michel Struys is a prominent anesthesiologist and clinical researcher whose work spans surgical physiology, patient monitoring, and the emerging frontier of autonomous systems in anesthesia. His most influential contributions center on understanding how extreme operative conditions — particularly the steep Trendelenburg position and CO2 pneumoperitoneum used during robotic prostatectomy — affect cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory homeostasis. His 2010 study on this topic has accumulated over 250 citations, establishing it as a foundational reference for clinicians managing patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery. A follow-up investigation in 2012 further deepened the field's understanding of cerebral hemodynamic physiology under these challenging conditions, reinforcing Struys's reputation as a leading voice in perioperative safety research. Beyond surgical physiology, Struys has demonstrated a forward-thinking interest in the technological evolution of his discipline. His 2020 narrative review on autonomous systems in anesthesia — examining the role of robotics and automation in clinical practice — has already attracted nearly 100 citations, signaling its relevance to a rapidly transforming field. Together, his body of work reflects a commitment to both immediate patient safety and the long-term innovation of anesthetic practice, making him an essential figure for students and researchers exploring modern perioperative medicine.
