About
Karishma Kodia is a thoracic surgery researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques, perioperative pain management, and enhanced recovery protocols for thoracic surgical patients. She has made meaningful contributions to the growing body of evidence supporting robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, particularly through her comparative analyses of segmentectomy approaches for non-small cell lung cancer using the National Cancer Database, a study that has garnered 12 citations and helped clarify outcomes across robotic, VATS, and open techniques. Kodia's most-cited work examines liposomal bupivacaine in intercostal nerve blocks as part of Enhanced Recovery After Thoracic Surgery (ERATS) pathways, reflecting her sustained commitment to optimizing postoperative pain control and reducing opioid dependence — a theme running through multiple publications, including her investigation of NSAIDs as essential analgesic components. Her 2022 study on protocol refinements for opioid-free pain management demonstrates a rigorous, iterative approach to clinical improvement. Kodia has also contributed to understanding COVID-19's disruption of thoracic surgical care delivery and documented complex robotic procedures such as thymectomy with pericardial repair. Collectively, her research advances safer, more efficient pathways for patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracic surgery.
