Abstract
(Abstracted from Obstet Gynecol 2023;141:681–696) Although opioid analgesics can be an effective pain control method in the acute postoperative period, their use comes with risks such as opioid misuse, persistent use, or opioid use disorders. As most postsurgical patients use less than half of their prescribed opioids (and rarely dispose of unused medication), millions of legitimately prescribed opioid tablets are available for diversion and misuse annually.
