Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of depth of neuromuscular blockade during laparoscopic gastrectomy on postoperative pain in surgical patients allocated randomly to either deep or moderate neuromuscular blockade group with standard-pressure pneumoperitoneum of 13 mmHg.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to rocuronium or sugammadex
  • Patient with VAS score (0=no pain; 100=the most severe pain) of at least 10 before surgery
