Abstract
- Background: Chronic pain is a well-known adverse effect of surgery, but the risk of chronic pain after gynaecological surgery is less established. Method: This review summarizes studies on chronic pain following hysterectomy. The underlying mechanisms and risk factors for the development of chronic post-hysterectomy pain are discussed. Results and conclusion: Chronic pain is reported by 5–32% of women after hysterectomy. A guideline is proposed for future prospective studies.
