About
Dr. Samantha Craigie is a leading clinical researcher whose work centers on the critical balance between thrombosis and bleeding risks in urological surgery. Her primary research areas include perioperative thromboprophylaxis, evidence-based surgical safety, and risk stratification for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in cancer patients. Dr. Craigie’s most influential contribution is her landmark systematic review and meta-analysis on procedure-specific risks of thrombosis and bleeding in urological cancer surgery, which has garnered 126 citations. This work provides essential baseline risk estimates that guide clinicians in making informed decisions about pharmacological prophylaxis, directly impacting patient safety and surgical outcomes. She further advanced the field through an international survey study (15 citations) that characterized global practice variation in thromboprophylaxis use, highlighting the need for standardized protocols. Dr. Craigie’s research is notable for its practical, patient-centered approach, offering surgeons and urologists clear, evidence-based tools to navigate the complex trade-offs between preventing life-threatening clots and avoiding dangerous bleeding. Her work continues to shape perioperative care guidelines and improve outcomes for patients undergoing high-risk urological cancer surgeries.
