About
Andrew Sternlicht is a clinical researcher whose work centers on regional anesthesia and postoperative pain management, with a particular focus on improving surgical recovery outcomes. His key research area involves the application of novel local anesthetic formulations, notably liposome bupivacaine, to enhance the duration and quality of analgesia after major procedures. Sternlicht’s major contribution is demonstrated in his pilot study on the infiltration of liposome bupivacaine into the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) for postsurgical analgesia in robotic laparoscopic prostatectomy. This work addressed a critical limitation of standard local anesthetics—their short duration of action—by exploring a sustained-release formulation that could extend pain relief and reduce opioid reliance. With 14 citations, this foundational study has informed subsequent research into prolonged regional blocks in urologic and abdominal surgeries. Sternlicht’s work is notable for its practical, patient-centered approach, bridging the gap between pharmacological innovation and clinical application. His research continues to influence protocols for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), marking him as a thoughtful contributor to the evolution of multimodal analgesia.
