About

Lindsey Baranski is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on optimizing postoperative care and pain management in older women undergoing gynecologic surgery. Her key research areas include opioid utilization, pelvic organ prolapse surgery outcomes, and geriatric surgical care. Baranski’s most notable contribution is her 2020 study on postoperative opioid consumption in women aged 60 and older following pelvic organ prolapse surgery, which has garnered 14 citations. This work critically examined prescribing patterns and actual opioid use during the first week after surgery, providing essential data to guide more judicious opioid prescribing in an aging population. By highlighting the gap between prescribed and consumed opioids, Baranski’s research supports efforts to reduce unnecessary opioid exposure and mitigate the risk of misuse or adverse effects in older surgical patients. Her findings have practical implications for improving postoperative recovery protocols and advancing patient-centered pain management strategies. Baranski’s work is especially valuable for clinicians and researchers seeking evidence-based approaches to balance effective pain relief with responsible opioid stewardship in gynecologic surgery.
