- Title
Chronic Postoperative Pain Management in Gynecologic Surgery.
- Authors
Ackerman, Robert S.; Ibañez, Jessica
- Abstract
Chronic postoperative pain (also known as chronic postsurgical pain) is pain that occurs post-surgery and extends beyond the tissue-healing process, lasting for at least 3 months. Risk factors for the development of chronic postoperative pain include demographic/lifestyle, genetic, psychologic, and clinical factors (comorbidities, surgical factors, anesthesia/analgesia factors), as well as perioperative pain (preoperative and postoperative pain). In addition, there are several conditions that occur postoperatively leading to propagation of chronic postoperative pain, such as anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment, incisional neuromas, pudendal neuralgia, and ilioinguinal neuralgia. Clinicians should focus on identifying risk factors and mitigating them to decrease the incidence of chronic postoperative pain. (J GYNECOL SURG 39:262)
