Preexisting chronic pain is not associated with moderate-to-severe acute pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a prospective cohort study
Preexisting chronic pain was not associated with acute postoperative pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Significant predictors for acute pain included higher preoperative pain intensity, sleep disturbances, intraoperative fentanyl, incision extension, and abdominal drain placement, while dexamethasone use was associated with reduced pain.
