Summary

Chronic abdominal pain is highly prevalent in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Adhesions are reported to be one of the most common causes of chronic pain after surgery. There is little epidemiological data on the natural course and risk factors of pain. In this study the investigators will assess risk factors for chronic pain and natural course by tracking pain scores through an app in a cohort of 1,500 patients undergoing abdominal surgery. In part two of the study patients with persistent abdominal pain at 12 months, that meet IASP criteria for chronic pain will have clinical investigations to determine the cause of their pain. This investigation includes cineMRI for diagnosis and mapping of adhesions.
