About
Adrian Waisman is a urologic researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes and combating the opioid crisis through evidence-based practice. His major contributions center on two key areas: optimizing postoperative pain management and enhancing recovery after robotic prostate surgery. In his highly cited 2021 study on reducing postoperative opioid prescribing, Waisman demonstrated how a quality improvement approach can significantly cut unnecessary pill quantities—a critical intervention in the fight against the opioid epidemic, earning 8 citations for its practical impact. His complementary research on preoperative pelvic floor assessment (5 citations) provides surgeons with a tool to predict early return of continence after robotic radical prostatectomy, directly improving patient quality of life. By bridging clinical implementation science with urologic oncology, Waisman's work offers actionable strategies that address both public health crises and individual patient outcomes. His research stands out for its translational value, showing how systematic changes in prescribing habits and preoperative planning can yield measurable benefits—a model for surgeons seeking to reduce harm while maintaining excellent surgical results.
