Key result
This review discusses contemporary approaches to multimodal, opioid-sparing postoperative pain management in plastic surgery to reduce reliance on opioids.
Why the study?
Opioids were traditionally the cornerstone of postoperative pain control, contributing to a significant public health concern.
This article reviews contemporary approaches to multimodal, opioid-sparing postoperative pain management in plastic surgery.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After reading this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Describe the fundamental concepts of multimodal analgesia techniques and how they target pain pathophysiology. 2. Effectively educate patients on postoperative pain and safe opioid use. 3. Develop and implement a multimodal postoperative analgesia regimen. SUMMARY: For many years, opioids were the cornerstone of postoperative pain control, contributing to what has become a significant public health concern. This article discusses contemporary approaches to multimodal, opioid-sparing postoperative pain management in the plastic surgical patient.
