[Impact of preoperative pain on postoperative pain chronification. Six-month follow-up after urologic surgery].
We examined the influence of preoperative pain on postoperative pain chronification in urological patients. ⋯ Our results give evidence to the fact that preexisting pain prior to surgery has an influence on the postoperative pain course. To avoid chronification adequate therapy of the preexisting pain should be carried out.
