Numbing medicines for faster recovery after keyhole colorectal surgery
Treatments studied

This study tests whether giving a numbing medicine (lidocaine) through an IV plus a local anesthetic at the surgery site can help you recover faster and with less pain after keyhole surgery for colorectal cancer.

This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication mixed with a steroid into the surgical area before making cuts can reduce pain after common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer pain medications.
This trial tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV during and after colon cancer surgery can help with recovery and boost your immune system. It's for people having laparoscopic colon surgery who haven't had chemotherapy before.
This trial compares two pain-relief medicines (lidocaine vs. ketamine) given through an IV during open colorectal surgery. It aims to find which one works better to reduce pain after surgery.
This study tests whether a drug called lidocaine, given during surgery, can help control pain after colon or rectal surgery and possibly improve long-term survival in older adults. The goal is to see if lidocaine offers better pain relief and recovery compared to standard care.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV during major open abdominal surgery can improve pain control when combined with spinal morphine. It compares lidocaine to a placebo (a saltwater solution) to see if it reduces pain and improves recovery.
