About
Renato Mariano is a leading clinical researcher in anaesthesia and perioperative medicine, with a focused expertise in the respiratory management of patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery. His work addresses a critical gap in modern surgical care: understanding how the unique physiological demands of robotic procedures—such as pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg positioning—affect respiratory mechanics and patient outcomes. Mariano’s major contributions include leading the international, multicentre AVATaR study, which systematically assessed ventilatory management during general anaesthesia for robotic surgery. His landmark paper, “Ventilation and outcomes following robotic-assisted abdominal surgery” (2020, 29 citations), provided foundational evidence on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in this growing field. More recently, his 2025 study (11 citations) demonstrated that PPCs are significantly more frequent in robot-assisted abdominal surgery compared to conventional laparoscopy, a finding with immediate clinical implications for surgical planning and anaesthetic care. By establishing protocols and statistical frameworks for large-scale observational research, Mariano has shaped how the global anaesthesia community approaches ventilation strategies in minimally invasive surgery. His work is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to improve safety in robotic-assisted procedures.
