About
Dr. Christina Matadial is an anesthesiologist and perioperative medicine specialist whose research focuses on opioid-sparing and opioid-free anesthesia pathways, particularly in the context of robotic-assisted surgery. Her most cited work, "Safe transition to opioid-free pathway after robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy" (2021), has garnered 7 citations and represents a significant contribution to the growing movement toward multimodal analgesia and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). This study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of eliminating opioids entirely from the perioperative care of prostate cancer patients, addressing the critical public health concern of opioid dependence while maintaining effective pain control. Dr. Matadial's work is notable for its practical, patient-centered approach, offering a template for surgeons and anesthesiologists seeking to reduce opioid exposure without compromising surgical outcomes. Her research aligns with broader efforts to transform perioperative care through evidence-based, non-opioid strategies, making her a valuable voice in the ongoing dialogue about responsible pain management in the surgical setting.
