About
Verena Rafeld is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on the perioperative risks associated with robot-assisted surgery, particularly in urological oncology. Her key research areas include positioning injuries, rhabdomyolysis, and the biochemical monitoring of muscle damage during prolonged surgical procedures. In her most cited work, she investigated the course of serum creatine kinase (CK) concentrations in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection, highlighting the dangers of the steep Trendelenburg position. This study, with 37 citations, provided critical insights into the early detection and prevention of positioning-related complications. Rafeld’s contributions have helped raise awareness among surgeons and anesthesiologists about the importance of intraoperative patient positioning and biochemical surveillance. Her work remains a valuable reference for improving patient safety in minimally invasive surgery.
