The decision for epidural analgesia was made by the anaesthetist and the patient. Contraindications were previous back surgery, coagulopathy, severe spondylarthrosis and refusal by the patient as contraindications.\n\nPrimary outcome was subjective feeling postoperatively, assessed with a VAS for pain and cramps and amount of analgesics used. Secondary outcomes were duration of postoperative bowel dismotility (first flatus, first defecation, first solid food intake) and general and specific morbidity.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* elective laparoscopic colorectal resection\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* emergency surgery\n* preoperatively planned stoma formation'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00512395', 'briefTitle': 'Influence of Epidural Analgesia in Elective Laparoscopic Colorectal Resections', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland'}, 'officialTitle': 'Influence of Epidural Analgesia in Elective Laparoscopic Colorectal Resections', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'STZ 13/04'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': '1', 'description': 'epidural analgesia', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: epidural analgesia (Duracain/Fentanyl/Naropin)']}, {'type': 'NO_INTERVENTION', 'label': '2', 'description': 'traditional analgesia with opioids'}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'epidural analgesia (Duracain/Fentanyl/Naropin)', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'naropin 0.3% or duracain 0.125% + Fentanyl via epidural catheter 4-12 ml/h', 'armGroupLabels': ['1']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Zurich', 'country': 'Switzerland', 'facility': 'Triemli Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 47.36667, 'lon': 8.55}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Urs Zingg, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Triemli Hospital', 'class': 'OTHER'}]}}}
