About
Dr. Valeria La Rosa is an emerging leader in regional anesthesia and perioperative pain management, with a focused expertise in novel analgesic techniques for thoracic surgery. Her most cited work, a 2021 case series on the continuous erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, has garnered 10 citations and represents a significant contribution to the field. This research addresses the critical challenge of managing severe postoperative pain following thoracic procedures, demonstrating how the ESPB—a relatively new interfascial plane block—can be effectively adapted for robotic-assisted approaches to enhance recovery and reduce opioid consumption. Dr. La Rosa’s work is notable for translating a technique initially described for general thoracic analgesia into a practical, continuous method for minimally invasive surgery, filling an important gap in the literature. Her findings underscore her commitment to advancing patient-centered outcomes through evidence-based regional anesthesia, making her a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers seeking to optimize perioperative care in thoracic surgery.
