 | Industry Relationships |
One of the goals of Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) is to advance the science of orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, and related disciplines for the benefit of patients. Physicians at HSS may collaborate with outside companies for education, research and medical advances. HSS supports this collaboration in order to foster medical breakthroughs; however HSS also believes that these collaborations must be disclosed.
As part of the disclosure process, this website lists physician collaborations with outside companies if payments were received during the prior year, or if the HSS physician currently receives payment. The disclosures are provided by information provided by the physician and other sources and are updated regularly. Further information may be available on individual company websites.
As of March 03, 2009, Dr. Liguori reported no financial interest relationships with healthcare industry.
By disclosing the collaborations of HSS physicians with industry on this website, HSS and its physicians make this information available to their patients and the public, thus creating a transparent environment for those who are interested in this information. Further, HSS’ Conflicts of Interest Policy does not permit physicians to collect royalties on products developed by him/her that are used on patients at HSS.

New YorkResearch Description
Dr. Gregory Liguori's research efforts are focused on two primary areas. The first is hemodynamic effects of regional anesthetics. Peripheral nerve blockade and neuraxial anesthetics can have significant hemodynamic effects on both healthy and cardio-vascularly compromised patients. Prevention of these events and treatment when necessary are essential to the conduct of safe and efficient anesthetics.
The second area of interest is on spinal anesthesia for ambulatory surgery. The local anesthetic mepivacaine is a novel alternative to other more common local anesthetics for ambulatory spinal anesthesia. We are investigating the efficacy of mepivacaine as a routine alternative in this setting.
