Article Synopsis
- This study examined postoperative pain management practices in women undergoing hysterectomy in Austria and Canada, focusing on opioid prescribing differences amid the opioid epidemic.
- It found that while total morphine equivalent doses (MED) were similar across both countries, Austria administered higher MED during surgery but significantly lower MED within the first 24 hours post-op compared to Canada.
- The findings suggest cultural attitudes towards pain management heavily influence prescribing practices, as evidenced by the stark contrast in discharge opioid prescriptions (98.5% in Canada vs. 0% in Austria), highlighting the need for further research in this area.
Objective: To evaluate a tailored opioid reduction strategy (TORS) in minimizing opioid prescriptions for patients undergoing hysterectomy.
Methods: This quality improvement initiative was developed by multiple stakeholders at an academic hospital in a Canadian urban centre. The intervention consisted of a three-pronged approach: (1) patient and provider education, (2) perioperative multimodal analgesia, and (3) a targeted opioid reduction strategy.
Predictors of Persistent Postsurgical Pain After Hysterectomy-A Prospective Cohort Study.
J Minim Invasive Gynecol
December 2021
Study Objective: To determine sociodemographic, surgical, and psychologic risk factors, including pain sensitivity, for persistent postsurgical pain (PPSP) after hysterectomy.
Design: A prospective cohort study.
Setting: Canadian academic medical center.
Simulation's benefits in medical education are well established. However, its use for pandemic preparedness in obstetrics is lacking. Management of obstetrical patients with suspected COVID-19 infection is a complex task with safety considerations for mother, fetus and healthcare workers.

Given the extensiveness of this disease, surgical management is challenging, making hormonal suppression the primary treatment.
Case: A 23-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain was found to have innumerable abdominopelvic nodules on imaging.
