About
Siamak Rahman is a clinician-researcher whose work centers on perioperative pain management and enhanced recovery after surgery, with a particular focus on robotic and minimally invasive surgical procedures. His research explores innovative regional anesthesia techniques and opioid-sparing strategies to improve patient outcomes. Most notably, Rahman investigated the use of N-methylnaltrexone, a peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist, in patients undergoing robotic-assisted radical cystectomy, demonstrating its potential to reduce opioid-related complications without compromising analgesia. This work, published in 2020, has garnered early attention in the field. More recently, Rahman has turned his attention to stellate ganglion blockade (SGB) as a novel approach for managing acute pharyngeal pain following transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal cancer. His 2025 study on this topic highlights a creative application of regional anesthesia to address a challenging postoperative pain site. Though his citation counts are still building—reflecting the recency of his contributions—Rahman’s work represents a meaningful step toward safer, more targeted pain management in complex surgical settings. His research is particularly relevant for anesthesiologists, pain specialists, and surgeons seeking to optimize recovery pathways in oncologic and robotic surgery.
