About
Dr. Susan Raphaely is a clinician-researcher whose work centers on perioperative pain management and enhanced recovery after surgery, with a particular focus on minimizing opioid use in urologic procedures. Her most cited study, "Opioid-free analgesia following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy" (2013), has garnered 3 citations and represents a foundational contribution to the growing movement toward opioid-sparing surgical protocols. In this collaborative work, Dr. Raphaely and her colleagues demonstrated that a multimodal, opioid-free analgesic regimen could effectively manage pain after robot-assisted prostatectomy, offering a safer alternative that reduces the risk of opioid dependence and side effects. This research has informed clinical guidelines and encouraged broader adoption of non-opioid strategies in urologic surgery. While her citation count is modest, the impact of her work lies in its practical, patient-centered approach—addressing a critical public health concern by providing evidence for opioid reduction in a common surgical setting. Dr. Raphaely’s contributions highlight the importance of integrating innovative pain management techniques into routine surgical care, benefiting both patients and healthcare systems.
