• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2021-06-01

Summary

Postoperative quality of recovery (QoR) could be related to anesthesia and postoperative analgesia. This study is exploring early QoR after radical prostatectomy in the two groups of anesthesia. The first group had a light general anesthesia with lumbal epidural anesthesia and postoperative epidural analgesia with morphine and ropivacaine. The second group had general anesthesia and a continuous postoperative analgesia with tramadol. The postoperative QoR was evaluated 24 hours after surgery.
