About

Dr. Cristin Malekyan is a pioneering anesthesiologist whose work centers on optimizing perioperative care, particularly through Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols and regional anesthesia techniques. Her most cited research, "An Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol for robotic-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomies utilizing a quadratus lumborum block," has garnered 8 citations, establishing a foundational framework for integrating ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum blocks into minimally invasive urologic surgeries. This contribution directly addresses the challenge of reducing opioid consumption and accelerating postoperative recovery in robotic nephrectomies, demonstrating measurable improvements in pain control and hospital stay duration. Dr. Malekyan’s work exemplifies the intersection of evidence-based protocol design and advanced regional anesthesia, offering a replicable model for surgical teams. Her research is particularly notable for its practical, patient-centered focus, providing clear guidance for implementing multimodal analgesia in high-volume surgical settings. By bridging the gap between anesthesiology and surgical innovation, Dr. Malekyan has positioned herself as a key voice in the evolution of perioperative medicine, with her protocol serving as a cornerstone for future studies in robotic-assisted procedures.
