Abstract

Post-operative prescription of opioids has fueled an increase in opioid-associated morbidity and mortality. Alternative post-operative pain control with non-opioid pharmaceuticals can help counteract this effect. We investigated a non-opioid pain management protocol following emergent laparoscopic appendectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
