About
Elizabeth Plasencia is a dedicated researcher in gynecologic oncology, with a primary focus on optimizing perioperative care and reducing opioid dependence through Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. Her most cited work, "Decreased Narcotic Use After the Implementation of ERAS Guidelines in Gynecologic Oncology at an Academic Center," demonstrates the tangible impact of standardized surgical pathways on patient outcomes. By systematically evaluating the integration of ERAS guidelines, Plasencia has contributed to a growing body of evidence that supports minimizing narcotic usage while maintaining effective pain management and improving recovery metrics, such as complication and readmission rates. Although her citation count is modest, her research addresses a critical public health concern—opioid overuse—within a specialized surgical population. Her work underscores the importance of evidence-based, multidisciplinary approaches to postoperative care, offering practical insights for clinicians seeking to enhance patient safety and recovery. As an emerging voice in her field, Plasencia’s contributions highlight the potential for systemic changes in surgical practice to yield meaningful, patient-centered benefits.
