Ketorolac after colectomy for ulcerative colitis in children: An analysis of opioid utilization and postoperative complications

Enhanced recovery protocols include multimodal perioperative pain control and frequently include use of NSAIDs. There is conflicting evidence that ketorolac use in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may precipitate disease flares and postoperative complications. The outcomes of children who receive ketorolac in this setting are not well known. We sought to evaluate ketorolac utilization in children following colectomy for ulcerative colitis.
