[Acute abdominal pain: what about analgesia].
Acute abdominal pain tends not to be treated by surgeons and emergency physicians.

Thus, early treatment of acute abdominal pain is recommended. In the absence of scientific evidence, protocols must be established by each institution and validated by quality process.
