Abstract

Postoperative pain after colorectal cancer surgery has a significant impact on postoperative physical and mental health. Vitamin D deficiency has been correlated with both acute pain states, including postoperative and post-traumatic pain, and several chronic pain diseases. The effects of hypovitaminosis D on preoperative pain threshold and perioperative opioid use in colorectal cancer surgery still need to be studied.
