Background: Pain, defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience related to actual or potential tissue damage, is commonly experienced postoperatively as a result of surgical procedures such as incisions, tissue dissection, and manipulation. Materials and Methods: Adult patients undergoing elective surgery were included, with those unable to communicate or unwilling to participate being excluded. Data collected included demographic details, preoperative pain scores, and surgical details, type of anesthesia, peri-operative pain management, and postoperative analgesics. Pain scores were assessed postoperatively using a numerical rating scale, and the data was analysed using SPSS software. Results: At 4 hours, mild to moderate pain was seen in 56 percent of the patients while severe pain was present in 18 percent of the patients. At 24 hours, mild to moderate pain was seen in 76 percent of the patients while severe pain was present in 16 percent of the patients. At 36 hours, mild to moderate pain was seen in 63 percent of the patients while severe pain was present in 12 percent of the patients. At 48 hours, mild to moderate pain was seen in 57 percent of the patients while severe pain was present in 16 percent of the patients. At different time intervals, significantly higher number of patients had mild to moderate pain. Non-significant results were obtained while correlating the occurrence of pain with type of surgery and with type of anesthesia. Conclusion: Effective acute postoperative pain management requires tailored interventions based on patient demographics and procedural considerations and appropriate selection of anesthesia and mode of surgeries.
