About
Dr. Gregory Joice is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing perioperative care and outcomes for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. His major contributions lie in evidence-based surgical recovery, particularly in reducing opioid use and preventing thromboembolic complications. As lead investigator of the ORIOLES Initiative, Dr. Joice conducted a landmark prospective cohort study (59 citations) that demonstrated how standardized opioid prescribing practices can dramatically reduce postdischarge narcotic use without compromising pain control. He further advanced the field through the PREVENTER randomized clinical trial (37 citations), which provided critical data on pharmacologic prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism after prostate surgery. These studies have directly influenced clinical guidelines and prescribing habits, helping to address the opioid epidemic and improve patient safety. Dr. Joice's work is notable for its pragmatic, patient-centered design and its immediate translational impact on surgical practice. His research continues to shape how urologists manage postoperative recovery, making him a key voice in the movement toward safer, more evidence-driven surgical care.
