Opioid Education Ventral Hernia Repair
The Effect on Educational Videos on Opioid Use
The goal of this study is to learn if opioid education before surgery affects prescribed opioid use after surgery in participants who are undergoing a ventral hernia repair. The main question it aims to answer is, does opioid education before surgery lower the number of opioid pills taken during recovery after a ventral hernia repair? Researchers will compare participants who watch an opioid education video before surgery to participants who watch a ventral hernia repair education video before surgery to see if those who watch an opioid education video take less prescribed opioid pills during recovery.
Participants will watch a roughly 2-minute video in office the day their ventral hernia repair is scheduled, watch the same video the day of their surgery and be asked to report how many prescription opioid pills they took during recovery and return any left-over prescription opioid pills for disposal at their 1 month follow up appointment.
