Brief summary (from the registry)
Severe persistent postsurgical pain (PPP) remains a major healthcare challenge. In the third most common surgical procedure in the UK, inguinal herniorrhaphy, including 85,000 surgeries in 2015, an estimated 1,500 to 3,000 patients will annually develop severe PPP. While the trajectory of PPP is generally considered a continuation of the acute post-surgery pain, recent data suggest the condition may develop with a delayed onset. The present study evaluated pain-trajectories in a consecutive cohort referred to a tertiary PPP-center. Explanatory variables based on individual psychometric, sensory and surgical profiles were analysed.
