Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop a multi-modal protocol for pain management after TURP that minimizes opioid use. The investigators hypothesize this approach will provide non-inferior pain control to the current standard of care which includes opioids as the primary agent. The investigators believe this is an important step in reducing the opioid epidemic in surgical patients.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study looks at the best way to manage pain after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) — a surgery to remove excess prostate tissue. The goal is to optimize pain control while minimizing opioid use after the procedure. You may be eligible if: - You are a male patient 18 years or older - You have been identified as a candidate for TURP surgery - You are proficient in English You may NOT be eligible if: - You filled an opioid prescription in the last 2 months - You have an allergy to a medication in the study protocol - You have had pelvic radiation - You have kidney failure, peptic ulcer disease, gastric bypass history, or cirrhosis (which would prevent use of NSAIDs) - You have liver failure, hepatitis, or alcohol abuse (which would prevent use of acetaminophen) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
