Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All patients will undergo surgery under general or spinal anesthesia. At the end of the surgery, the surgeon will perform a perianal block using the local anesthetic or the placebo upon randomisation. The experimental group will receive a local anesthetics and the control group a normal saline injection. All injections will be perianal, peripheral to the external anal sphincter.
