Validation of the Surgical Pain Scales in Women undergoing Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery

摘要

ObjectiveSurgical Pain Scales (SPS) consist of 4 items that measure pain at rest, during normal activities, during work/exercise and quantify unpleasantness of worst pain, which are valid and responsive in men undergoing hernia repair. Our objective was to evaluate the psychometric properties of SPS in women undergoing vaginal surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
