About
Dr. Lindsey Michel is a clinical anesthesiologist and perioperative pain researcher whose work centers on regional anesthesia techniques for gynecologic surgery. Her most-cited study, "Does Ultrasound-Guided Quadratus Lumborum Block Improve Pain after Hysterectomy" (2025, 2 citations), investigates the quadratus lumborum block (QLB) as an adjunct for postoperative pain control following minimally invasive hysterectomy. Using a prospective cohort design, Dr. Michel’s research provides early evidence on whether this ultrasound-guided nerve block reduces opioid requirements and improves recovery in the critical first 24 hours after laparoscopic or robotic procedures. While her citation count is modest, this work addresses a practical gap in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, offering anesthesiologists a targeted, non-opioid option for managing visceral pain. Dr. Michel’s contribution is notable for its focus on patient-centered outcomes—pain relief without systemic side effects—and for advancing the evidence base for regional blocks in a common surgical population. Her research signals a growing interest in precision analgesia, and her findings may influence future clinical guidelines for hysterectomy care.
