This study, called the SAVE Trial, is looking at how a special video can help women who are having breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy (removal of the breast due to cancer or to prevent it). The video teaches you how to use opioid pain medications safely, how to combine them with other pain relievers, and how to properly get rid of any leftover pills. The goal is to see if watching this video helps patients use fewer opioids after surgery and stop using them sooner. You could be eligible if you are a woman aged 18 or older undergoing this specific type of breast reconstruction. The study will compare patients who watch the video to those who receive standard care, to understand how to improve opioid prescribing guidelines.
