Measure
Patient-Controlled Epidural Analgesia
Bupivacaine and fentanyl infusion via Continuous Lumbar Epidural Analgesia during postoperative 72 hours Bupivacaine: Bupivacaine (0.0625%) will be combined with fentanyl for postoperative epidural analgesia via a lumbar epidural catheter Fentanyl: Fentanyl (2 mcg/ml) will be given via epidural route together with bupivacaine.
Intravenous Patient-controlled Analgesia
Postoperative intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) with Hydromorphone Hydromorphone: Hydromorphone will be given continuous infusion for intravenous patient controlled analgesia (syringe 25 mg/50 mL).
