Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist and opioid use after gynecologic surgery

Pre-operative use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists may be associated with reduced post-operative opioid consumption.

• Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors are present in the central nervous system and may influence pain processing.
• The study evaluates the impact of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists on post-operative pain management.
• Potential differences in length of hospital stay and 30-day post-operative complications are also examined.
