Brief Summary

The study will assess the impact on quality of care after implementation of the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol for laparoscopic colorectal surgery in Vilnius University Hospital Santaros klinikos. The primary goal of this study is to compare efficacy of two different types of anaesthesia - general and combined (spinal and general), efficacy of multimodal analgesia in both groups, need for rescue analgetics, time to bowel movement, time to ambulation. We also aim to study overall patient satisfaction and measure health-related quality of life, from date of randomisation until the date of hospital discharge, 30 days, 3 months and 6 months post-discharge.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative pain intensity

    Number of patients with unsatisfactory pain relief evaluated with visual analogic scale (VAS \> 4, with 0-no pain, 10-worst possible pain)

    From time to PACU admission until discharge. Every 6 hour for first 24-hour, then every 12 hour until 72 hours.

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Total post-operative analgetics consumption

    From time to PACU admission until 72 hours postoperatively

  • Time to bowel movement

    From time of PACU admission until the date of first documented bowel mowement, assessed 24 hours postoperatively.

  • Time oral intake

    From time of PACU admission until the date of first documented liquid oral intake.

  • Time to ambulation

    From time of PACU admission until the first documented ambulation, assessed 72 hours postoperatively.

  • Time to urinary catheter removal

    From time of PACU admission until the date of urinary catheter removed will be measured.

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

I group - general anaesthesia

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

General anesthesia, induction with fentanyl, propofol, roqurium. Maintenance - sevoflurane (BIS ranges 40 - 60), opioids (fentanyl and morphine), roqurium. Intraoperative fluid administration - 2000ml sterofundine, 500ml Gelaspan. 75mg intravenous diclofenac sodium on anesthesia induction, 1000mg intravenous acetaminophen at the start of wound closure. Surgical site infiltration, bupivacaine, 0.25%-10 ml, after the last suture.

Other: Type of anaesthesia

II group - combined - spinal and general anaesthesia

EXPERIMENTAL

Spinal anesthesia: L3-4 interspace, 27G needle, bupivacaine hyperbaric, 16 mg, morphine sulfate 0.1% - 0.1ml. General anesthesia, induction with fentanyl, propofol, roqurium. Maintenance - sevoflurane (BIS ranges 40 - 60), roqurium. Intraoperative fluid administration - 2000ml sterofundine, 500ml Gelaspan. 75mg intravenous diclofenac sodium on anesthesia induction, 1000mg intravenous acetaminophen at the start of wound closure. Surgical site infiltration, bupivacaine, 0.25%-10 ml, after the last suture.

Other: Type of anaesthesia

Interventions

Two different types of anesthesia general vs combined (spinal and general)

I group - general anaesthesiaII group - combined - spinal and general anaesthesia
