This narrative review explores the crucial aspects of postoperative pain management within the framework of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). It emphasizes the significance of effective and secure pain management, highlighting its impact on patient well-being, surgical outcomes, and hospital stays. The inadequacy of perioperative pain relief increases the risk of persistent postoperative pain, emphasizing the need to challenge the notion that pain is expected after surgery. The goals of postoperative pain management extend beyond mere relief, encompassing comfortable sleep, pain-free rest, and liberation from pain during initial recovery. Inadequate pain management can lead to complications such as heightened postoperative bleeding and an increased risk of thrombosis. The review delves into various analgesic methods, their complications, and safety measures. ERAS programs, focused on reducing complications and medical costs, emphasize the importance of judicious postoperative pain management and active rehabilitation. The review discusses complications associated with analgesic methods like opioids, epidural analgesia, and adjuvant analgesics. Collaboration within the perioperative management team is crucial for effective postoperative pain relief. Interdepartmental collaboration is essential for evaluating surgical procedures, analgesic methods, and crisis management strategies. The review concludes by integrating precision medicine into postoperative pain management, emphasizing the potential of genetic information in assessing pain sensitivity. It underscores the importance of inter-departmental collaboration and information gathering for the successful implementation of precision medicine tailored to each facility's perioperative management systems. Additionally, the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on preoperative risk assessment and innovative monitoring techniques is discussed, paving the way for the advancement of precision medicine in postoperative pain management.
