Wide Variation in Opioid Prescribing After Urological Surgery in Tertiary Care Centers.

Objective: To describe postoperative opioid prescribing practices in a large cohort of patients undergoing urological surgery.

Patients And Methods: We identified 11,829 patients who underwent 21 urological surgical procedures at 3 associated facilities from January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2016. After converting opioids to oral morphine equivalents (OMEs), prescribing patterns were compared within and across procedures.
