Opioid Education Ventral Hernia Repair
Sponsor: Tori Dotson
Summary
The goal of this study is to learn if opioid education before surgery affects prescribed opioid use after surgery in participants who are undergoing a ventral hernia repair. The main question it aims to answer is, does opioid education before surgery lower the number of opioid pills taken during recovery after a ventral hernia repair? Researchers will compare participants who watch an opioid education video before surgery to participants who watch a ventral hernia repair education video before surgery to see if those who watch an opioid education video take less prescribed opioid pills during recovery. Participants will watch a roughly 2-minute video in office the day their ventral hernia repair is scheduled, watch the same video the day of their surgery and be asked to report how many prescription opioid pills they took during recovery and return any left-over prescription opioid pills for disposal at their 1 month follow up appointment.

Interventions
Opioid and Surgery Education Video
This video educates patients on what a ventral hernia repair is as well as common side effects of opioid use, what opioid tolerance is and how it develops, what opioid withdrawal presents as, how to prevent opioid-induced dependence and addiction, and how to safely dispose of opioid drugs.
Surgery Education Video
This video educates patients on what a ventral hernia repair is and the difference between laparoscopic and open repair. Contains no new information that should have already been discussed between patient and physician.
