Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Continuous wound infiltration alone
Spinal anesthesia will be performed with 10 mg bupivacain 0.5% hyperbaric, 3 μg sufentanil and 1 ml sodium chloride 0.9% (without morphine). Patient will then receive a continuous wound infiltration of ropivacaine 0.2% 8 ml/H via a preperitoneal catheter.
|
Drug: Ropivacaine
Ropivicaine (0.2%) bolus of 10ml will be injected through the catheter after surgery and continuously infused during the postoperative period (8ml/H) |
Active Comparator: Intrathecal moprhine alone
Spinal anesthesia will be performed with 10 mg bupivacain 0.5% hyperbaric, 3 μg sufentanil and 0.1mg morphine. Patient will then receive a continuous wound infiltration of sodium chloride 0.9% 8 ml/H via a preperitoneal catheter.
|
Drug: Morphine
Morphine will be injected intrathecally (100µg) and oral morphine will be given during the postoperative period |
Experimental: Intrathecal morphine&wound infiltration
Spinal anesthesia will be performed with 10 mg bupivacain 0.5% hyperbaric, 3 μg sufentanil and 0.1mg morphine. Patient will then receive a continuous wound infiltration of ropivacaine 0.2% 8 ml/H via a preperitoneal catheter.

- Morphine consumption during the first 48 postoperative hours [ Time Frame: at the 48th hour ]
- Pain at rest and at mobilization [ Time Frame: Every 4 hours during the first 48 postoperative hours ]The pain at rest and at mobilization will be evaluated with both Visual Analog scale and Verbal pain scale. The patient should describe the worst pain felt during the previous 4 hours in a lying position and at mobilization
- Time to restoration of bowel function [ Time Frame: within the first 48 postoperative hours ]
- Verbal and Visual analog pain scores in the first standing position [ Time Frame: at day 1 ]
- Number of patients that required oral morphine [ Time Frame: At the 24th and 48th hour ]
- Number of patients that required local anesthetic rescue dose through the catheter [ Time Frame: At the 24th and 48th hour ]
- Postoperative rehabilitation survey [ Time Frame: At the 48th hour ]
- Occurrence of side effect [ Time Frame: During the first 48 hours ]Itching, nausea and vomiting, drowsiness, urinary retention, hypoventilation, other will be assessed with a questionnaire
- Postoperative residual pain (DN4 survey) [ Time Frame: At 3 months postoperatively ]
