About
M. Van de Velde is a leading figure in perioperative medicine and evidence-based pain management, with a particular focus on surgical oncology. Their most influential work centers on the development and updating of clinical guidelines for postoperative pain control, most notably through the PROSPECT (PROcedure-SPECific postoperative pain management) initiative. Van de Velde’s major contribution lies in synthesizing rigorous evidence to create procedure-specific recommendations that enhance recovery and reduce opioid reliance. Their 2021 update on pain management after prostatectomy for cancer, which has garnered 33 citations, exemplifies this impact by providing surgeons and anesthesiologists with targeted, data-driven protocols. This work has shaped clinical practice worldwide, improving patient outcomes in urological oncology. Van de Velde’s research bridges the gap between high-level evidence and bedside care, making them a trusted authority in perioperative analgesia. Their ongoing efforts to refine these guidelines continue to influence how pain is managed after major surgeries, underscoring a commitment to patient-centered, evidence-based medicine.
