Actual (reported)This single-center, cross-sectional survey and sensory examination is conducted to determine the prevalence, sensory characteristics and risk factors of PPSP in patients who underwent cystectomy at Washington University/Barnes-Jewish Hospital between 2009 and 2015. Based on data from other lower abdominal surgeries, the investigators hypothesize that 10-15% of patients undergoing cystectomy will develop PPSP.

Actual (reported)Ratio of participants reporting PPSP at the time of survey.
Presence of PPSP will be determined based on presence of pain in the pelvic area at the time of survey.
between 3 months to 6 years post surgery
Comparison of sensory findings between patients with PPSP and patients without PPSP after cystectomy. This specific aim will be attained by performing Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST).
1 to 3 months post survey completion
Patients with pain identified through the survey will be invited to undergo sensory assessment by quantitative sensory testing (QST) around the surgical scar and a control area: Thermal (cold and heat) detection and pain thresholds; mechanical detection and pain threshold; dynamic mechanical allodynia; temporal summation (wind-up).
Patients without pain age and gender matched to patients with pain identified through the survey will be invited to undergo sensory assessment by quantitative sensory testing (QST) around the surgical scar and a control area: Thermal (cold and heat) detection and pain thresholds; mechanical detection and pain threshold; dynamic mechanical allodynia; temporal summation (wind-up).
Survey: 383 patients who have undergone cystectomy at Washington University/Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Sensory testing: Considering 25-30% 5-year mortality rate after cystectomy for bladder cancer, we expect 10-15 subjects with PPSP and 10-15 age and gender matched controls to participate in the sensory testing portion.
