Background: Majority of the patients suffering from chronic post-surgical pain have the assumption that the surgeon made an error or that something went wrong. in this study we will focus on the risk-factors and other dimensions of chronic post-operational pain that could help reduce the number of patients afflicted by the illness. Objective : to reduce the post operative pain , This paper will also focus on the risk-factors and other dimensions of chronic post-operational pain that could help reduce the number of patients afflicted by the illness. methodology : This study used secondary data, which is data that is already collected and recorded by another person that is readily available from other sources Results : Chronic post-operative pain remains a common occurrence . Enhancing the control of acute post-surgical pain is among the strategies that can go a long way in the forestalling of chronic post-operative pain Conclusion: Chronic post-operative pain remains a common occurrence. In the past few decades, the research standard has markedly developed although much work still needs to get done, mostly in the areas of risk factors and mechanisms
