Liberal vs. Restricted Post-discharge Opioid Prescribing Following Midurethral Sling

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Postoperative Pain, Opioid Use

In brief

The specific objective of this proposal is to evaluate pain and opioid use following a midurethral sling (MUS) under two different opioid prescribing schemes. The central hypothesis is that, in spite of the fact that opioids are often routinely prescribed by many surgeons following this procedure, most patients do not require them for pain control, and patients who are not prescribed postoperative will have similar pain scores and pain control satisfaction compared with patients who are routinely prescribed a standard amount of opioids for postoperative pain control.
