About

Chronic post-surgical pain is a problem that has historically been underestimated. Over the last few years there has been a search for strategies to both predict and prevent its occurrence in patients undergoing surgery. The Gendolcat index is the only predictive model that uses only objective pre-surgical variables to assess the risk of suffering chronic post-surgical pain. However, it is only validated for the following surgeries: thoracotomy, hysterectomy and open inguinal hernia. Our aim is to test whether the Gendolcat model is also valid for cesarean section.
