Postoperative opioid use can lead to dependence, contributing to the opioid epidemic in the U.S. New persistent opioid use after minor surgeries occurs in 5.9% of patients. With increased documentation of persistent opioid use postoperatively, surgeons must pursue interventions to reduce opioid use perioperatively. We performed a prospective cohort study to assess the feasibility of a preoperative intervention via patient education/counseling and changes in provider prescribing patterns to reduce postoperative opioid use. We included adult patients undergoing thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy from 1/22/2019-2/28/2019 at a tertiary referral, academic endocrine surgery practice. Surveys were administered to assess pain and patient satisfaction postoperatively. Prescription, demographic, and comorbidity data were collected from the electronic health record. 66 patients (74.2% women, mean age 58.6 [SD 14.9] years) underwent thyroidectomy (n= 35), parathyroidectomy (n=24), and other cervical endocrine operations (n= 7). All patients received a preoperative educational intervention in the form of a paper handout. 90.9% of patients were discharged with prescriptions for non-opioid pain medications and 7.6% were given an opioid prescription on discharge. Among those whom received an opioid prescription, the median quantity of opioids prescribed was 135 (IQR 120-150) oral morphine equivalents. On survey, four patients (6.1%) reported any postoperative opioid use and 94.6% of patients expressed satisfaction with their preoperative education and postoperative pain management. Clear and standardized education regarding postoperative pain management is feasible and associated with high patient satisfaction. Initiation of such education may support efforts to minimize unnecessary opioid prescriptions in the endocrine surgery population.
