BACKGROUNG AND AIMS: 
Our aim is to compare postoperative pain between different anesthetic techniques used in traumatology surgery. We also compare if pain perception, interference with activities, emotions and adverse effects were affected.
METHODS: 
We present a cross-sectional study of 105 patients who underwent into traumatology surgery during February to April 2018. Questionnaires were made to patients in order to analyze pain intensity, frequency of severe pain, interference of pain at rest, movement, sleeping and coughing, emotions, side effects (dizziness, nausea or vomits, itching, drowsiness) and patient satisfaction also. The type of anesthesia was recorded. Patients score all items from 0 to 10. Descriptive and ANOVA statistical analysis was performed with the SPSS program. 
RESULTS: General anesthesia (GA: 23%), general anesthesia with peripheral nerve block (GA + PNB. 32%), spinal anesthesia (SA: 19%), spinal anesthesia with peripheral block (SA+ PNB: 26%) were compared. There are significant differences in all the studied variables except for pain caused by cough and itching. GA showed a superior score in intensity of pain (Max, Min  and severe pain).  GA + PNB showed the higher score for pain interference with activities outside bed, anxiety, depression and feeling helpless. Side effects showed more favorable scores in SA + PNB (drowsiness) and SA (nausea or vomits). 
CONCLUSION:
The type of anesthesia can affect different aspects of postoperative immediate pain. Regional anaesthesia patients have fewer side effects compared to those who underwent general anaesthesia, but the perception of pain is worst as well as the patient’s global satisfaction.
