Patients undergoing office-based TFR were less likely to fill perioperative opioid prescriptions but were prescribed opioids with greater MME. In wide-awake TFR, it appears that a disparity may exist in patient and provider beliefs about postoperative pain control. Future patient- and provider-level investigations may produce insights into perceptions of postoperative pain and pain control, which may be useful for reducing opioid prescriptions across surgical settings.
