About
Sanjib Das Adhikary is an anesthesiologist and researcher whose work bridges clinical pain management and cutting-edge medical simulation. His key research areas include regional anesthesia, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, and haptic simulation for procedural training. Dr. Adhikary’s most impactful contribution is his landmark study on liposomal bupivacaine in transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks for colorectal surgery, which demonstrated significant reductions in pain and postoperative intravenous opioid requirements. This work, cited 64 times, has helped shape multimodal analgesia strategies in enhanced recovery pathways. Beyond clinical research, Dr. Adhikary is advancing medical education through simulation. His work on the Dynamic Haptic Robotic Trainer (DHRT) for central venous catheterization training, and his innovative concept of "haptic simulation using material fracture" for low-cost peripheral nerve block training, represent novel approaches to making procedural training more accessible and effective. These contributions, while newer, are gaining traction in the simulation community. Dr. Adhikary’s research uniquely spans from the operating room to the simulation lab, improving both patient outcomes and the training of future clinicians.
