About
Dr. Linda F. Carson is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology and regional anesthesia, best known for her pioneering work in optimizing postoperative pain management for minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries. Her research centers on the integration of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, particularly the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, to reduce opioid reliance and enhance recovery. Her landmark 2015 prospective randomized controlled study, cited over 114 times, demonstrated the efficacy of subcostal TAP infiltration with liposomal bupivacaine in patients undergoing robotic-assisted hysterectomy, significantly improving pain scores and reducing narcotic use. This work has directly shaped enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols in gynecologic oncology. Beyond this, Dr. Carson has contributed broadly to surgical innovation and patient-centered outcomes, with her research influencing clinical guidelines worldwide. Her dedication to evidence-based, multimodal analgesia has made her a sought-after mentor and collaborator, and her studies remain essential reading for surgeons and anesthesiologists seeking to advance perioperative care.
