Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Amy J Hanna"
- Amy J Hanna's research primarily focuses on improving postoperative recovery for patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colectomy through the investigation of pharmacological interventions, particularly the use of alvimopan.
- Her 2012 publication in the journal JSLS examines the effects of adding alvimopan, a peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist, to a standard perioperative recovery pathway, aiming to enhance gastrointestinal recovery and reduce hospital stay duration.
- The study emphasizes a retrospective case series review, addressing the gaps in understanding the efficacy of alvimopan in laparoscopic procedures, which is critical given its previously demonstrated benefits in open bowel resection patients.
