Summary
The aim of this trial is to examine the possibility that fentanyl 1,5 µgr/kg given
intravenously (i.v.) before the start of remifentanil infusion for anesthesia gives less
development of tolerance/hyperalgesia postoperative than fentanyl given at the end of surgery
(the traditional method).
