Audit of Pain Management After Colorectal Surgeries in a Tertiary Care Cancer Hospital.

Surgery for gastrointestinal malignancy is associated with severe post-operative pain, which if inadequately treated, can lead to pulmonary complications and, in addition, delayed mobilization leading to delayed recovery and discharge.
