Postoperative pain (POP) after vitreo-retinal surgery is influenced by duration of surgery and anaesthesia conduction; opioids are not necessary for its management.

CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of POP after VRS is low but not absent, especially for long procedures, it does not require postoperative opioids and can be modified by anesthesiologic choices. PMID: 30426732 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
