Brief Summary:
This is a blinded randomized controlled trial in patients undergoing laparoscopic colon surgery. The aim of this study is to assess whether perioperative intravenous lidocaine has an impact on the early post operative physical activity recovery of patients scheduled for laparoscopic colon surgery.
Twenty patients will receive thoracic epidural analgesia, twenty patients will receive intravenous lidocaine plus patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and twenty patients will receive only PCA.
Hypothesis: patients receiving perioperative intravenous lidocaine, post operative recovery will be faster and decrease pain intensity, opioid consumption and side effects, length of hospital stay; probably as a result of a significant opioid sparing and attenuated inflammatory response.
Detailed Description:
This is a blinded randomised study of patients undergoing major laparoscopic abdominal and pelvic surgery. The first group of patients will receive thoracic epidural analgesia, the second group will receive perioperative intravenous lidocaine, the third group will PCA alone and the last group will receive spinal analgesia. Functional restoration assessed by self-administered quality of Life questionnaires (SF-36, CHAMPS, ICFS) and 2 and 6 min walking test will be assessed in the two groups at 3 and 8 weeks after the surgery.
