About
Rana Greene is a clinical anesthesiology researcher whose work focuses on the perioperative management of intraocular pressure (IOP) during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Her key research area addresses the unique physiological challenges of the steep Trendelenburg position, which can dangerously elevate IOP during prolonged surgery. Greene’s most cited study, a prospective randomized controlled trial, demonstrated that preoperative brimonidine tartrate 0.2% does not prevent IOP spikes in this context—a finding with direct implications for preventing vision-threatening complications in urologic surgery. With 10 citations, this work has informed clinical guidelines and sparked further investigation into ocular safety during minimally invasive procedures. Greene’s contributions are notable for their rigorous methodology and practical relevance, bridging the gap between anesthesiology and ophthalmology. Her research continues to shape best practices for patient positioning and pharmacological prophylaxis, making her a key voice in the safety of robotic prostatectomy.
