About
Sharon Willis is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on advancing perioperative pain management, particularly through the use of regional anesthesia techniques. Her primary research areas include postsurgical analgesia, transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks, and the application of liposomal bupivacaine for extended pain relief. In her most cited study, a 2014 pilot investigation, Willis evaluated the infiltration of liposome bupivacaine into the TAP for robotic laparoscopic prostatectomy, addressing the critical limitation of short-duration analgesia with standard local anesthetics. This work contributed to the growing evidence for sustained-release formulations in minimally invasive surgery, highlighting both preliminary efficacy and safety. With 14 citations, the study has informed subsequent protocols in urologic and abdominal procedures. Willis’s research is notable for its practical focus on improving patient recovery and reducing opioid reliance, making her contributions valuable to anesthesiologists and surgeons seeking enhanced postoperative outcomes. Her work exemplifies the integration of innovative pharmacology with regional anesthesia to advance surgical care.
