Postoperative Determinants of Functional Recovery Following Colon Surgery: The Effect of Wound Infiltration With Local Anesthetics
This is double blinded randomised study of patients undergoing colon open surgery. One group
of patients will receive thoracic epidural analgesia plus patient controlled analgesia (PCA)
(epidural analgesia group) and the other group will receive infiltration of local anesthetic
plus PCA (wound infusion group). 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.
