Surgical recovery among patients with chronic pain undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery: a prospective cohort study

A majority of patients undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery recover well, with overall low pain scores, narcotic requirements postoperatively and early return to physical activity. The majority of the studies evaluating the postoperative recovery specifically exclude patients with chronic pain so information is limited regarding the postoperative recovery and pain management requirements in this patient population.
