Description

There are no gold-standard modalities or algorithms that are used in treating peri-operative pain in both abdominal and anorectal surgery. With the advent of ERAS protocols, there has been an attempt to standardize pain control methods in abdominal surgery, however, there are still differing approaches in regard to technique, dosage and timing of administration. In the era of avoidance and/or attempts at decreasing narcotic usage, this webinar will attempt to explore different modalities of pain control in colorectal surgery and give an update on conscientious narcotic usage in the peri-operative period.
