Abstract

Differences in nociception and use of opioids between sexes are of particular interest, considering higher rates of persistent opioid use among women after surgery. Although enhanced recovery protocols (ERPs) have improved postoperative pain control in colorectal surgery, sex-based comparisons of inpatient opioid use after surgery in an ERP remain understudied.
