Ventral Hernia
Conditions
Brief summary
Pilot pragmatic trial using an implementation science approach to determine the feasibility of a CYP2D6-guided opioid prescribing for patients undergoing elective VHRs compared to usual care. Assess the efficacy (PROMIS Pain Intensity and Hernia-Related QOL) of a CYP2D6-guided opioid prescribing approach for patients undergoing elective VHRs.
Interventions
CYP2D6 genotype testing for assessment of medication metabolism to guide prescription of postoperative pain medication
Participants will receive standard postoperative pain medications
