About
Dr. Alanna Lehman is a gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing perioperative care and recovery for women undergoing minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic cancers. Her work centers on two key areas: enhancing same-day discharge protocols and reducing opioid dependence through non-narcotic pain management strategies. In her highly cited 2021 study on factors associated with same-day discharge after laparoscopic surgery, she identified critical variables that enable safe, efficient outpatient recovery, earning 8 citations. Her 2020 investigation into pre-emptive non-narcotic pain medication demonstrated how proactive analgesia can minimize postoperative opioid use, a finding with significant implications for combating the opioid crisis. Dr. Lehman also compared laparoscopic versus robotic surgery for endometrial cancer, revealing differences in perioperative recovery and narcotic consumption that guide surgical decision-making. With over 20 citations across her key works, her contributions are shaping evidence-based protocols that improve patient outcomes, reduce hospital stays, and advance the field of gynecologic oncology toward more patient-centered, opioid-sparing care. Her research is particularly notable for its direct clinical applicability, offering actionable insights for surgeons and anesthesiologists.
