US Surgeons Prescribe More Opioids at Home than on Surgical Trips to LMICs

US Surgeons Prescribe More Opioids at Home than on Surgical Trips to LMICs

Does operating location affect postoperative pain management? The latest episode of The Operative Word podcast explores this topic through a discussion with Drs. Ziad Sifri and Matthew Linz on their聽. In a conversation with podcast host Dr. Tom Varghese, the authors discussed their findings that surgeons from the US prescribe significantly more opioids after inguinal hernia repair when at home compared with when they operate on short-term surgical trips to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), despite continued efforts to reduce opioid overprescription in the US.
