Perioperative Pain Management in Urogynecology: A Review

The authors aim to review the current understanding of postoperative pain management in urogynecology, particularly following pelvic reconstructive surgery, and to identify effective perioperative interventions. They discuss pain processing pathways, the natural history of postoperative pain, and existing literature on strategies to mitigate this pain, while also suggesting areas for future research. The review emphasizes the importance of patient-centric outcomes and the implications of opioid use in pain management.
