About
Nambiath Sujata is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of anesthesiology, robotic surgery, and perioperative patient safety. Her most influential contributions center on intracranial pressure management during robot-assisted laparoscopic procedures, a critical concern given the steep Trendelenburg positioning and pneumoperitoneum inherent to these surgeries. Her most cited work — a 2018 randomized trial with 28 citations — compared propofol and sevoflurane-based anesthesia by correlating intracranial pressure changes with optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), establishing ONSD ultrasonography as a practical non-invasive monitoring tool in this challenging surgical context. She has further advanced this technique through case-based evidence addressing the unique risks faced by obese patients in robotic pelvic surgery, demonstrating how ONSD measurements can guide safer extubation decisions. Beyond neuroanesthesia, Sujata has contributed to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, particularly in robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion, helping optimize outcomes beyond the surgical learning curve. Collectively, her research — cited over 50 times — reflects a sustained commitment to improving perioperative safety and refining evidence-based anesthetic and recovery practices in the rapidly evolving field of robotic surgery.
