[Oxycodone, piritramide and tramadol for the management of postoperative pain : A  registry study on use and effectiveness in clinical routine].

CONCLUSIONS: In summary, our findings suggest that postoperative pain treatment with slow release oral oxycodone does not show disadvantages compared to tramadol or piritramide with regard to pain-related impairments and opioid-induced side effects. This hypothesis needs to be further analyzed in controlled studies.
