Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of epidural anesthesia and analgesia on the overall survival,disease-free survival and recovery in patients undergoing pancreatic cancer surgery. This study will also evaluate the effects of this technique on neuroendocrine, stress and inflammatory response in these patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

GEA+PCEA

General anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia will be performed during surgery and patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) will be provided after surgery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

GEA

Intervention Type DRUG

Thoracic epidural catheterization will be performed and epidural anesthesia will be maintained with 0.25% ropivacaine during surgery. General anesthesia will be maintained with inhalation (sevoflurane) and muscle relaxants will be administered when considered necessary.

PCEA

Intervention Type DRUG

Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (0.15% ropivacaine infusion) will be provided after surgery.

GA+PCIA

General anesthesia will be performed during surgery and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) will be provided after surgery.

Group Type OTHER

GA

Intervention Type DRUG

General anesthesia will be maintained with inhalation (sevoflurane) and sufentanil infusion, and muscle relaxants will be administered when considered necessary.

PCIA

Intervention Type DRUG

Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (1ug/ml sufentanil) will be provided after surgery.
