Post-operative chronic painAbstract
Post-operative chronic pain is an entity in itself which significantly affects the life of patients who present it and meet certain well-defined diagnostic criteria.
It is considered a complication to the surgical procedure, and its in-cidence varies between 15% - 60%, according to the type of surgery performed, impacting/influencing severely on the biopsychosocial sphere and favouring the development of comorbidities.
The pharmacological approach contemplates an important number of specific drugs that do not always manage to mitigate adequately the pain condition.
Additionally, there are invasive strategies such as the use of blocks, radiofrequency procedures, peripheral nerve stimulation techniques or posterior cords, among others.
Taking into account the loss of effectiveness of different conservative treatments and as time elapses since the beginning of the condition/ symptoms, it is important to consider the interventional alternatives in a timely manner, knowing the capacity that this entity can generate in the patient.
