This study is being done because the investigators wish to study ways to improve recovery
after surgery. Injury, including surgical injury, causes inflammation. Inflammation is the
body's attempt to protect itself and to start the healing process. Some surgical
complications are related to the body's natural inflammatory response. Although mainly a
healing response, inflammation can also have side effects which delay recovery. The
investigators wish to determine the effect of a medication known as ibuprofen on recovery.
You may know ibuprofen by the name Advil or Motrin. The medication will be given through the
vein prior to the start of the surgery. Three blood samples will be taken, two while the
patient is under anesthesia. The subject will be asked to complete several questionnaires.
