Each patient will undergo mastectomy(ies) if immediate reconstruction is being performed, followed by uni- or bilateral abdominally based free flap harvest, microsurgical anastomoses, and flap inset. If randomized to the ketorolac intervention group, then the participant will receive 30 mg of intravenous (IV) ketorolac tromethamine. The anaesthetist will give participants their first study drug intravenously at the conclusion of surgery. The participant will then continue to receive their assigned drug every 6 hours for 72 hours, for a total of 13 doses. Patients all receive 1:1 care from nursing staff in the early postoperative period, and their nurse will administer all drugs given on the surgical ward.

Each patient will undergo mastectomy(ies) if immediate reconstruction is being performed, followed by uni- or bilateral abdominally based free flap harvest, microsurgical anastomoses, and flap inset. If randomized to the control group the patient will be given a sham IV medication. The sham medication will be normal saline at the same volume as ketorolac, which corresponds to 3 ccs. The anaesthetist will give participants their first study drug intravenously at the conclusion of surgery.
