About
Shantel Jiggetts is a clinical researcher dedicated to advancing postoperative pain management in gynecologic surgery, with a focus on minimally invasive hysterectomy. Her work centers on evaluating novel analgesic techniques to improve patient recovery and reduce opioid reliance. Jiggetts’ major contributions include pioneering investigations into regional anesthesia and local anesthetic injections. Her 2025 study on the quadratus lumborum block (QLB) assessed its effectiveness as an adjunct for pain control after laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy, providing early evidence for this technique’s potential in gynecologic populations. In her 2022 randomized double-blinded trial, she examined intracervical liposomal bupivacaine injection for analgesia during minimally invasive supracervical hysterectomy, demonstrating rigorous methodology in a placebo-controlled design. Although her publications are recent and have accrued modest citation counts (2 citations each), they represent foundational work in a niche area of surgical pain management. Jiggetts’ research is notable for its direct clinical applicability, addressing a critical gap in optimizing patient comfort and recovery. Her studies offer valuable insights for anesthesiologists and gynecologic surgeons seeking evidence-based strategies to enhance perioperative care.
