About

Adam Truong is a colorectal surgeon whose research centers on optimizing perioperative care and advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques. His most impactful work tackles the critical issue of postoperative pain management in opioid-tolerant patients undergoing colorectal surgery. In his landmark 2019 study, Truong demonstrated that a standardized opioid-sparing multimodal analgesia protocol significantly reduces opioid consumption without compromising pain control, a finding that directly addresses the national opioid crisis. This paper, with 18 citations, has influenced clinical protocols for managing high-risk surgical populations. Beyond pain management, Truong has contributed to the technical aspects of colorectal surgery, authoring a step-by-step guide for the safe removal of pre-peritoneal inguinal mesh (13 citations), a valuable resource for surgeons managing mesh-related complications. He has also explored the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus open resection for rectal cancer, contributing to the ongoing debate about the role of robotics in achieving optimal oncologic outcomes. Through his work, Truong bridges the gap between evidence-based perioperative care and surgical innovation, offering practical solutions that improve patient recovery and safety.
