About

Ben Morrison is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on perioperative medicine, specifically the integration of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols and opioid-sparing analgesia in urological surgery. His most cited paper, "The opioid-sparing effect of intrathecal diamorphine in robotic assisted prostatectomy surgery as part of a comprehensive ERAS programme" (2019, 2 citations), demonstrates a key contribution: evaluating how regional anaesthesia techniques can reduce systemic opioid use within structured recovery pathways. This research addresses the critical challenge of balancing effective pain control with the need to minimise opioid-related side effects and dependency risks in surgical patients. Morrison’s work is notable for its practical, protocol-driven approach, aiming to improve patient outcomes and recovery times in robotic surgery. While his citation count is modest, his findings contribute to the growing evidence base for multimodal analgesia in ERAS programmes, offering a template for integrating intrathecal diamorphine into standardised perioperative care. For students and researchers in anaesthesia and surgical recovery, Morrison’s research highlights the importance of tailoring analgesic strategies to specific surgical contexts, advancing the shift toward safer, more efficient postoperative management.
