About
Douglas A. Canning is a leading figure in pediatric urology, with a research focus on the surgical management of congenital urinary tract anomalies and the perioperative care of children undergoing urologic reconstruction. His major contributions include advancing evidence-based practices to minimize opioid use in pediatric surgical patients, particularly through large-scale institutional analyses that demonstrate safe, effective alternatives to traditional pain management. Canning’s work has directly influenced clinical protocols, reducing reliance on narcotics while maintaining high-quality recovery outcomes. His most-cited study, a 2022 single-institutional analysis of opioid and NSAID usage trends in children undergoing common urinary tract reconstruction (7 citations), exemplifies his commitment to translating clinical data into safer, more compassionate care. As a professor of urology at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania, Canning has also mentored numerous trainees, shaping the next generation of pediatric urologists. His leadership in the field is underscored by his role as editor-in-chief of the *Journal of Pediatric Urology* and his receipt of the American Urological Association’s Distinguished Contribution Award.
