BEHAVIORAL

No opioids at discharge

Patients who are being scheduled for any major urologic cancer surgery (open or laparoscopic) will be counselled regarding post-operative pain and measures taken during surgery and during hospital stay. They will be provided written information on these pain mitigation efforts and the adverse effects associated with opioids use and outpatient prescriptions. Patients will be discharged from the hospital without any opioids prescriptions and instructions to use non-opioids analgesics. Patients will complete a visual analog pain scale daily for 7 days after discharge from the hospital. Patients will be able to call the clinic at anytime for any post-operative pain issues.
