Abstract

/st> The incidence of chronic pain after hysterectomy is reported to be up to 30%, but the relative role of different pathogenic factors has not been defined. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of preoperative abdominal and vaginal mechanosensitivity for the subsequent development of acute and chronic pain after hysterectomy.
