Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a continuous infusion of local anesthesia with a catheter in the surgical wound reduces patient consumption of opiates by 30% in the 48-hour postoperative period following surgery for colorectal neoplasm and hepatic surgery versus the continuous infusion of physiological serum.

Eligibility Criteria
