Of people who have surgery, almost 60% will experience severe pain in the postoperative period and effective control of this pain can contribute to their recovery and rehabilitation, and prevent progression from acute to chronic pain [1]. Between Apr 1 2009 and Mar 31 2014, 39,631,801 surgical patient episodes were recorded in the UK [2].
