Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Cancer of Pancreas

Interventions

DRUG

GEA

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.

DRUG

PCEA

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

DRUG

GA

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