About
Kelly Kasper is a clinical researcher whose work centers on regional anesthesia and perioperative pain management in gynecologic surgery, with a particular focus on minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures. Her most recognized contributions examine the role of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks in reducing postoperative pain for women undergoing laparoscopic and robotic gynecological surgery — a clinically significant question given the growing prevalence of these procedures and the imperative for enhanced recovery protocols. Kasper's 2022 retrospective study investigated the specific application of subcostal TAP blocks using liposomal bupivacaine, evaluating their impact on postoperative pain scores and hospital length of stay following robotic-assisted hysterectomy. This work laid important groundwork for a subsequent 2025 publication — likely a systematic review or updated analysis — that more rigorously assessed TAP block efficacy compared to no block or local anesthetic injection, accumulating 4 citations in its first year alone. Though her citation profile is still emerging, Kasper's focused research addresses a genuine gap in evidence-based pain management for gynecologic patients. Her findings have meaningful implications for anesthesiology and gynecologic surgery practice, contributing to optimizing patient recovery and informing clinical decision-making in an increasingly outpatient surgical landscape.
