Abstract
: Surgeons universally overprescribe opioids even in surgeries that are minimally invasive. Despite some drops in opioid prescribing nationally, surgeons and dentists have not changed their prescribing habits. Opioid guidelines are inherently flawed by the anchoring heuristic and efforts should center on decreasing exposures to opioids through a physician-lead response. No-opioid minimally invasive surgery should be the goal rather than the exception.Mesh:
