About

Robin J. Schiller is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on perioperative pain management and evolving analgesic strategies in thoracic surgery. Her most cited study, "Changes in analgesic strategies for lobectomy from 2009 to 2018," provides a comprehensive analysis of shifting trends in pain control for patients undergoing lung resection. By querying the Premier database for open, video-assisted, and robotic-assisted lobectomy cases over a decade, Schiller documented the declining use of epidural analgesia alongside the rising adoption of nonopioid and opioid alternatives. This work offers critical insights into how surgical and anesthetic practices have adapted to enhance recovery and reduce opioid-related risks. With 6 citations, her research contributes to the broader conversation on optimizing perioperative care and multimodal analgesia. Schiller’s findings are particularly valuable for clinicians and researchers seeking evidence-based approaches to pain management in thoracic surgery, highlighting her role in advancing patient safety and surgical outcomes through data-driven analysis.
