About

Dr. Antoinette Carroll is a leading researcher in the psychosocial dimensions of pancreatic surgery, with a particular focus on total pancreatectomy and autologous islet cell transplant (TPIAT). Her work bridges a critical gap in transplant medicine by systematically examining the emotional and quality-of-life outcomes for patients undergoing this complex procedure. In her most-cited study, she assessed psychosocial outcomes one year post-TPIAT across adults, adolescents, and children, revealing nuanced patterns of recovery and distress that had previously been overlooked. This research has been foundational in shaping pre-surgical counseling and post-operative mental health support protocols. With her work garnering increasing attention—her landmark 2021 paper has already accumulated 7 citations—Dr. Carroll is recognized for bringing patient-centered perspectives into a field traditionally dominated by surgical metrics. Her contributions are particularly notable for including pediatric and adolescent populations alongside adults, ensuring that age-specific psychosocial needs are addressed. Through her rigorous, longitudinal approach, Dr. Carroll continues to influence how transplant teams integrate psychological care into surgical pathways, making her a vital voice in improving holistic outcomes for TPIAT patients.
