Lidocaine infusion during liver surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a medicine called lidocaine, given through an IV during surgery, can improve recovery after liver surgery. If you are eligible, you might feel less pain and recover faster after your liver resection.
