About

Danielle M. Strozza is a urogynecologist whose work is reshaping postoperative pain management in women’s pelvic reconstructive surgery. Her research centers on opioid-sparing strategies, aiming to eliminate routine opioid prescribing after urogynecologic procedures. In her most-cited paper, “A bundle of opioid-sparing strategies to eliminate routine opioid prescribing in a urogynecology practice” (2024, 5 citations), Strozza demonstrates how a comprehensive, multi-modal approach—including regional blocks, non-opioid analgesics, and patient education—can effectively reduce opioid use without compromising pain control. This contribution is particularly timely amid the ongoing opioid crisis, offering a practical, evidence-based model for surgeons to adopt. Though her citation count is modest, her work is gaining traction as a pioneering example of how to safely minimize opioid exposure in a surgical population that has historically been overlooked in such efforts. Strozza’s research not only advances clinical practice but also underscores the importance of patient-centered, non-pharmacologic pain management. Her findings are increasingly referenced by colleagues seeking to implement similar protocols, positioning her as a rising voice in the movement toward responsible, effective postoperative care in urogynecology.
