Brief Summary
The main purpose of this research study is to determine the amount of opioids that are taken after discharge following a cystectomy, nephrectomy (partial or total), or prostatectomy surgeries via a 30-day post- discharge opioid use and disposal survey. We will also evaluate the impact of an opioid disposal education pamphlet on proper disposal of unused opioids.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Discharge opioids consumed in 30 days after discharge
For each participant who was prescribed an opioid medication after urology surgery, the number of opioid pills consumed in 30 days after discharge will be captured as a categorical variable from the "Opioid Use and Disposal Survey". Participant-reported options include None, About one-fourth of all pills, About half of all pills, About three-fourths of all pills, or All. Participants who report that they received an opioid prescription but did not fill it will be captured as taking None.

Interventions
Education on opioid medication disposal will be provided in the form of a pamphlet created by Atrium Health based on FDA resources and will be given to all participants at discharge (cystectomy, nephrectomy, prostatectomy) beginning in the second year, approximately 13 months from when the first participant is enrolled or until a minimum of 100 evaluable participants are enrolled in the pre-education cohort, whichever occurs last.
