About

Dr. Samuel Tremblay is a urologic surgeon and researcher dedicated to improving perioperative care and combating the opioid crisis. His work centers on opioid stewardship in uro-oncologic surgery, with a focus on evidence-based prescribing to reduce overprescription and patient harm. In his highly relevant 2022 study, "Opioids use after uro-oncologic surgeries in time of opioid crisis," Dr. Tremblay conducted a prospective, observational analysis that highlighted the wide variation in opioid prescribing practices following urologic cancer procedures. This work, which has garnered early citations, underscores the urgent need for standardized guidelines to minimize opioid-related risks while effectively managing postoperative pain. By directly addressing the lack of consensus in prescribing, Dr. Tremblay's research provides actionable insights for surgeons and policymakers alike. His contributions are particularly timely, offering a roadmap to balance effective pain control with responsible opioid use. As a clinician-scientist, Dr. Tremblay is at the forefront of a critical shift toward safer, more patient-centered surgical recovery protocols.
