The study will assess the impact on quality of care after implementation of the ERAS
(Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol for laparoscopic colorectal surgery in Vilnius
University Hospital Santaros klinikos. The primary goal of this study is to compare efficacy
of two different types of anaesthesia – general and combined (spinal and general), efficacy
of multimodal analgesia in both groups, need for rescue analgetics, time to bowel movement,
time to ambulation. We also aim to study overall patient satisfaction and measure
health-related quality of life, from date of randomisation until the date of hospital
discharge, 30 days, 3 months and 6 months post-discharge.
