About
Dr. Sarah Cameron is a leading clinical researcher in perioperative medicine, with a primary focus on enhancing recovery after colorectal surgery. Her most impactful work centers on the management of postoperative gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction, a common and debilitating complication affecting up to 40% of patients. Dr. Cameron is best known as the principal investigator of the landmark ALLEGRO trial (2022), a placebo-controlled randomized study that rigorously evaluated intravenous lidocaine for accelerating GI recovery. This highly cited work (14 citations) provided critical, high-quality evidence on a widely debated intervention, directly informing clinical guidelines and practice. By addressing the fundamental barrier to hospital discharge—delayed return of GI function—her research has significant implications for reducing patient morbidity and shortening hospital stays. Dr. Cameron’s contributions are pivotal in moving perioperative care toward more effective, evidence-based recovery protocols, making her a key voice in the field of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS).
