“…The vocabulary and syntax of the MEDLINE strategy was tailored to allow adaptation and optimal electronic searching of the other databases. Searches will target articles published after January 1990, as earlier publications do not reflect current standards of surgical care with the widespread use of minimally invasive surgery and perioperative care pathways 29–32. The initial search was conducted in July 2019 and will be re-run prior to manuscript submission to ensure the inclusion of most recent literature.…”

Opioid versus opioid-free analgesia after surgical discharge: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

IntroductionExcessive prescribing after surgery has contributed to a public health crisis of opioid addiction and overdose in North America. However, the value of prescribing opioids to manage postoperative pain after surgical discharge remains unclear. We propose a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the extent to which opioid analgesia impact postoperative pain intensity and adverse events in comparison to opioid-free analgesia in patients discharged after surgery.Methods and analysisMajor electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, AMED, BIOSIS, CINAHL and PsycINFO) will be searched for multi-dose randomised-trials examining the comparative effectiveness of opioid versus opioid-free analgesia after surgical discharge. Studies published from January 1990 to July 2019 will be targeted, with no language restrictions. The search will be re-run before manuscript submission to include most recent literature. We will consider studies involving patients undergoing minor and major surgery. Teams of reviewers will, independently and in duplicate, assess eligibility, extract data and evaluate risk of bias. Our main outcomes of interest are pain intensity and postoperative vomiting. Study results will be pooled using random effects models. When trials report outcomes for a common domain (eg, pain intensity) using different scales, we will convert effect sizes to a common standard metric (eg, Visual Analogue Scale). Minimally important clinical differences reported in previous literature will be considered when interpreting results. Subgroup analyses defined a priori will be conducted to explore heterogeneity. Risk of bias will be assessed according to the Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias Tool 2.0. The quality of evidence for all outcomes will be evaluated using the GRADE rating system.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required since this is a systematic review of published studies. Our results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at relevant conferences. Further knowledge dissemination will be sought via public and patient organisations focussed on pain and opioid-related harms.

Sutureless technique following mandibular third molar surgery is an endearing concept in modern oral and maxillofacial surgery: regardless, few articles appear in literature with different methods, results, and flaps. A modern state of the art of this technique does not exist.In this article, an overview of studies regarding sutureless technique in mandibular third molar surgery is presented: relation to postoperative infection, recovery, and proper flap are discussed.
