Study Summary

This trial tests if a calculator can predict post-surgery pain meds needs for patients accurately. #medicalresearch

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-89 who are undergoing specific pelvic reconstructive surgeries and can give informed consent. It's not for those who don't speak English, have a pre-op cancer diagnosis, are having unrelated surgeries at the same time, or can't consent.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing if a special calculator can better predict the amount of pain medication needed after surgery compared to standard opioid prescriptions. Participants will receive their post-surgery opioids based on either method.See study design

What are the potential side effects?
