BACKGROUND: With the rising toll of the opioid crisis, oculoplastic surgeons have been looking at methods to decrease opioid prescription.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to identify factors that correlate with opioid usage after oculoplastic surgery.
METHODS: This was a prospective study conducted at University of Texas Southwestern. All patients who underwent an oculoplastic procedure were eligible for inclusion. Patients enrolled were provided 20 tablets of tramadol 50 mg, to take 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed for pain. At their postoperative week 1 appointment, participants had the remaining number of unused opioid tablets counted. The number of tablets taken were calculated by subtracting the remaining number of tablets from the original prescribed amount.
RESULTS: A total of 310 patients were enrolled in our study. Of these, 129 patients met the inclusion criteria. There was a statistically significant difference in the number of tramadol tablets taken between procedures for upper eyelids, lower eyelids, and both eyelids (P < .01). There were no statistically significant differences in tramadol usage when comparing procedures on eyelids with orbit procedures(P = .30), cosmetic with noncosmetic procedures (P = .52), males with females (P = .87), or patients naive to oculoplastic procedures with those undergoing reoperation (P = .58). Longer procedures were correlated with greater tramadol usage (R = 0.28, P < .01).
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study in the literature that has objectively quantified opioid usage after oculoplastic surgery in a prospective manner. Procedures that involve both upper and lower eyelids simultaneously and longer procedures resulted in higher opioid use. Orbital procedures, cosmetic procedures, sex, and procedural naivety were not found to be associated with higher opioid usage.
