About
Dr. Soumi Pathak is a leading anesthesiologist whose research focuses on the perioperative management of high-risk patients undergoing robotic and laparoscopic surgeries. Her key contributions center on understanding the physiological consequences of extreme surgical positioning, particularly the steep Trendelenburg position used in urological and gynecological procedures. Her most cited work, "Quantitative rise in intraocular pressure in patients undergoing robotic surgery in steep Trendelenburg position" (2020, 13 citations), provides critical data on the risk of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, establishing a quantitative benchmark for IOP changes during these procedures. This research has significant implications for preventing vision loss in surgical patients. Dr. Pathak also addresses rare but serious challenges, as demonstrated in her study on the anaesthetic management of patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency undergoing robotic prostatectomy (2016, 3 citations). By detailing strategies to avoid acute hemolysis triggered by oxidative stress and surgical positioning, she has advanced safe anesthetic protocols for vulnerable populations. Her work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient safety, making her a vital voice in the field of robotic surgery anesthesia.
