Neuropathic pain after femoropopliteal bypass surgery

Abstract: Prolonged postoperative neuropathic pain along the distal and proximal incision or the bypass tunnel exists in one fourth of patients after femoropopliteal bypass surgery. Patients should be informed of this kind of complication before surgery. The results of our study justify further investigations of the origin and treatment of this pain, to find effective methods to reduce the incidence of prolonged postoperative pain after femoropopliteal bypass surgery.

“…Up to 60–80% of amputees experience phantom pain after amputation (3), and breast surgery is followed by chronic pain in 20–50% of patients (4). A similar high percentage of patients develop chronic pain after thoracotomy (5), sternotomy (6) and femoropopliteal bypass surgery (7). Common operations, such as gallbladder surgery, inguinal hernia repair and Cesarean section, may also lead to chronic pain in approximately 12–30% of patients (8–10).…”

“…16 Neuropathic pain persists in surgical incision sites in 24% of patients after 1 year. 17 In critical limb ischemia, FP bypass with the use of a venous conduit has a 5-year patency of ≈66%, dropping to 33% when polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft material is used and the distal anastomosis is below the knee. 18 Few studies have compared surgical bypass with endovascular therapy.…”

“…But other studies have reported 1-year CPSP prevalence rates as high as 39% [39] and 45% [40]. Rates of CPSP following vascular surgery are similar in range (25%), with moderate to severe pain typically presenting along the femoropopliteal bypass tunnel [42]. …”
