Decreased Opioid Prescription With Low Pain Scores After Urethroplasty: Using a Simplified, Multimodal, Opioid Minimization Pain Protocol.

Objective: To implement a simplified, opioid-minimized, multimodal pain management (MPM) protocol and assess its effectiveness of reducing opioid dispersion while maintaining low postoperative complications, patient-reported pain, and patient-reported interference with quality of life (QOL) for men undergoing urethroplasty.

Methods: Ninety-five men at a single academic center from October 2020 to October 2023 received a urethroplasty. We retrospectively reviewed the prior standard pain management (SPM) cohort before August 2021, then prospectively studied the MPM cohort after August 2021.
