About
Dr. Lindsay Shirreff is a clinician-researcher whose work focuses on gynecologic surgery and the optimization of patient outcomes, particularly in the areas of fibroid management and pain science. Her research has critically examined the intersection of surgical technique and pharmacotherapy, as demonstrated by her study on whether ulipristal acetate alters the surgical experience during laparoscopic myomectomy. More prominently, Dr. Shirreff has made significant contributions to understanding persistent postsurgical pain (PPSP) after hysterectomy. Her prospective cohort study, which has garnered 26 citations, is a landmark investigation that identifies sociodemographic, surgical, and psychologic risk factors—including pain sensitivity—for PPSP. This work is vital for developing preoperative counseling and risk-stratification strategies to improve long-term patient well-being. By bridging the gap between surgical practice and patient-centered outcomes, Dr. Shirreff’s research directly informs how clinicians approach gynecologic procedures. Her findings are essential reading for surgeons and trainees aiming to reduce chronic pain and enhance recovery after hysterectomy, establishing her as a key voice in evidence-based gynecologic care.
