Numbing belly nerves for robotic colon surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving numbing medicine (local anesthetic) around certain belly nerves before robotic colon surgery can help reduce pain after the operation. It may help you recover more comfortably with less need for strong painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
