The authors present their experience with the follow up and influencing of postoperative pain in 65 children aged 6-18 years operated and hospitalised at the department of paediatric surgery of the Faculty Hospital in Hradec Králové. The authors investigated in operated children with different diagnoses the topology, quality, intensity, development and treatment of postoperative pain. As to selected ways of monitoring of different dimensions of pain they selected those which take into account age and possible communication with the child. For the treatment of postoperative pain they used in 96% analgesics and in 4% anaesthetics.
