Considering that there was greater evidence of uncontrolled pain in orthopedic, general surgery and obstetric and gynecological procedures, they are shown to involve determining factors in pain perception such as extensive tissue damage and the involvement of several systems. It has already been reported that the type of intervention, the surgical technique and the anesthetic management are major determining factors of pain intensity and duration.
