About

Dr. Cindy McManaway is a leading pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for children with obesity and metabolic disorders. Her most impactful work centers on the development and implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols specifically tailored for pediatric metabolic and bariatric surgery. Her landmark 2022 paper, "Utilization of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for pediatric metabolic and bariatric surgery," has already garnered 14 citations, reflecting its immediate influence on clinical practice. Dr. McManaway’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that structured, evidence-based perioperative care pathways can significantly reduce hospital stays, minimize complications, and accelerate recovery in this vulnerable patient population. By adapting adult ERAS principles to children, she has pioneered a safer, more efficient surgical experience that improves both short-term outcomes and long-term metabolic health. Her work is not only advancing pediatric bariatric surgery but also setting a new standard for multidisciplinary care in childhood obesity treatment. Dr. McManaway’s research continues to shape protocols worldwide, making her a key figure in the evolving field of pediatric surgical optimization.
