Summary
Recently, deep neuromuscular blockade during general anesthesia has been studied by many
authors regarding various effects upon patients' outcomes and surgical conditions. We believe
deep neuromuscular blockade can be especially beneficial in laparoscopic surgery, because it
can expand surgical space and prevent patients' minute movements that can disturb precise
operations. In clinical situations, anesthetists tend to compensate the insufficiency of
neuromuscular blockade by increasing the dose of other anesthetic agents, which can prolong
patients' recovery time and impair the surgical condition. In this study, we plan to divide
the patients into 2 groups according to the depth of neuromuscular blockade, and compare the
dose of anesthetic agent used to maintain surgical condition.
