摘要

Purpose of Review

Herein we review recent trends in opioid prescribing, the rise in office-based surgeries, and propose a framework to minimize opioid consumption following such procedures.

Recent Findings

Outpatient surgical procedures are increasing year over year in the United States. This observed increase is expected to continue due to the financial incentives to perform outpatient procedures. Office-based surgery is a setting that is expected to have tremendous growth. Still, currently there are scant safety guidelines concerning how to manage perioperative pain related to surgeries in this setting safely and effectively. Opioid abuse is rampant across the United States, and we anticipate that an increase in outpatient procedures will create a rise in opioid prescribing without appropriate discourse and planning.

Summary

There are a variety of systematic factors in play to minimize opioid consumption after office-based surgery that must be considered at each operative phase. Careful planning and consideration of the multitude of factors can increase patient satisfaction while minimizing opioid prescriptions.
