Discharge Medication Use Post-Operatively in GU Cancer Patients
Sponsor: Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Summary
The main purpose of this research study is to determine the amount of opioids that are taken after discharge following a cystectomy, nephrectomy (partial or total), or prostatectomy surgeries via a 30-day post- discharge opioid use and disposal survey. We will also evaluate the impact of an opioid disposal education pamphlet on proper disposal of unused opioids.

Opioid Medication Disposal Education
Education on opioid medication disposal will be provided in the form of a pamphlet created by Atrium Health based on FDA resources and will be given to all participants at discharge (cystectomy, nephrectomy, prostatectomy) beginning in the second year, approximately 13 months from when the first participant is enrolled or until a minimum of 100 evaluable participants are enrolled in the pre-education cohort, whichever occurs last.
