Abstract
Acute pain is an important fear for most patients and influences their recovery and overall experience. Poorly treated, it could lead to undesirable effects and patient dissatisfaction. Hence, it is important to understand, assess and treat acute pain effectively. Pain management has been transferred from intraoperative into per operative period throughout the emergence of modern anesthesiology. Pain management in postoperative period is one of the most essential components of sufficient post-surgical patients care. The objective of this review is to define and demonstrate the risks and different sequelae of acute post operative pain.

Summary
Ronald Melzack said that "By any reasonable code, freedom from pain should be a basic human right, limited only by our knowledge to achieve it". It is the basic duty of all healthcare professionals to relieve pain, and the most important indication for treating pain after surgery is humanitarian. It is important to understand, assess and treat acute pain effectively. [3] Acute pain is defined as ‘pain of recent onset and probable limited duration. It usually has an identifiable temporal and causal relationship to injury or disease’. The neural processes underlying the encoding and processing of noxious stimuli are defined as ‘nociception’. [6] In addition to these sensory effects, the perception and subjective experience of ’pain’ is multi factorial and will be influenced by psychological and environmental factors in every individual
