Pain Management Strategies for Urogynecologic Surgery: A Review
ABSTRACT: Surgery-related pain is common and is difficult to manage during the postoperative period. In some studies, more than 30% of patients who underwent either vaginal surgery or abdominal surgery reported inadequate pain control at postoperative days 3 and 7. Poor pain control during the acute postoperative period causes heightened sympathetic discharge (increasing the risk for myocardial infarction and stroke) and decreased ambulation (increasing the risk for thromboembolism). Poor acute postoperative pain control can also result in poor inspiratory effort, resulting in an increased risk for postoperative pneumonia,...
