Summary
Proper pain relief is a major concern of patients worldwide. Preoperatively, one of the most
common questions asked by patients pertains to the amount of pain they will experience after
surgery how long it will last and how good will it be controlled. Pain concerns the surgical
team as well, because of its correlation with clinical outcomes and patients' satisfaction
rate . Studies have shown that negative clinical outcome with regard to pain control includes
decreases in vital capacity and alveolar ventilation, pneumonia, tachycardia, hypertension,
myocardial ischemia, transition into chronic pain, poor wound healing, and psychological
sequelae .
