Predictors of increased acute postoperative pain after elective minimally invasive colorectal surgery
Key Points
This research aims to identify factors that predict increased acute postoperative pain after elective minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
Analysis of demographic and clinical data from elective minimally invasive colorectal surgeries.
Assessment of pain using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score.
Evaluation of the presence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as a clinical factor.
Younger age is associated with increased severity of postoperative pain.
Higher BDI scores correlate with severe postoperative pain outcomes.
The presence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a significant predictor of intense pain.
Abstract
It was demonstrated that a younger age, higher BDI score and the presence of IBD are significant predictors of severe postoperative pain despite multimodal pain management.
