In 2012, 77,818 kidney transplants were performed in the world according to the World Health Organization. Kidney transplantation is the best replacement therapy in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease as it improves the quality of life and survival possibilities. Postoperative pain is usually from mild to moderate after a kidney transplantation and it’s of special consideration because of underlying comorbidities and variable graft responses. Effective postoperative pain management contributes to a successful outcome after kidney transplantation (visit http://www.painoutmexico.com to see the full article and recommendations).
