First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study looked at whether giving a combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen before surgery (preemptive) reduces the need for strong opioid painkillers after robot-assisted prostate removal compared to giving it after surgery starts (preventive). 154 men having prostate surgery took part. The goal was to see if preemptive dosing lowers total opioid use and pain scores in the first 24 hours after surgery.
