Abstract

For many children, their first exposure to opioids occurs after undergoing a medical or dental procedure. In this chapter, we review the role that surgeons play in postoperative opioid prescribing for children undergoing surgery. We explore current prescribing guidelines and contraindications that are specifically applicable to children undergoing surgery. Last, we explore strategies to improve appropriate opioid prescriptions following surgery and conclude with recommendations for surgeons to consider.
