Introduction: Chronic pain after surgery (CPAS) is a frequent cause of consultation, has a high prevalence and disabling, last two to three months. The cause is limited to previous surgery, regardless of indication or technique.Methods: The literature search was conducted in Medline, Embase, and LILACS, without language either design limits, looking for evidences of January 1990 to February 2011. The selected articles address some aspects of CPAS. The data quality was assessed with Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASPUK) tools.Results: The CPAS is associated with acute postoperative pain intensity and patient´s psychosocial factors. Some surgeries are more associated. Preoperative analgesia, acute pain medication and epidural anesthesia are pillars to prevent and reduce the incidence.Conclusions: Further studies are needed about CPAS prevention and treatment, because there are few reports with adequate quality. |
