About
Adriana Rhodes is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on perioperative pain management and enhanced recovery after surgery, with a particular emphasis on opioid-sparing and opioid-free pathways in urologic oncology. Her most cited paper, "Safe transition to opioid-free pathway after robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy" (2021, 7 citations), represents a significant contribution to the growing body of evidence supporting multimodal analgesia in major surgical procedures. This work demonstrates that patients undergoing robotic prostatectomy can safely avoid opioid use, addressing the critical public health concern of postoperative opioid dependence. Rhodes’ research directly informs clinical protocols that reduce opioid prescribing without compromising pain control, offering a practical framework for surgeons seeking to implement safer, evidence-based pain management strategies. Her findings are particularly relevant in the context of the national opioid crisis, providing a reproducible model for transitioning surgical practices toward opioid-free care. While her citation count reflects the emerging nature of this field, her work is positioned to influence future guidelines on perioperative analgesia in urologic surgery.
