About
Carole Ramm is a colorectal surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on improving perioperative outcomes in colorectal surgery, with a particular focus on enhanced recovery pathways and minimally invasive techniques. Her most cited study, a 2023 regional database analysis involving over 1,200 patients, demonstrated that alvimopan—a peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist—significantly reduces postoperative ileus and shortens hospital stays in both open and minimally invasive colorectal procedures. This work has been cited 5 times and provides real-world evidence supporting the drug’s integration into enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols. Dr. Ramm’s contributions help bridge the gap between clinical trials and everyday practice, offering surgeons actionable data to optimize patient recovery. Her research underscores the importance of multimodal analgesia in reducing opioid-related complications, and she continues to investigate how perioperative interventions can improve surgical quality and patient outcomes.
