Detailed Description

Prostatectomy is the treatment of choice for prostate cancer. The robot-assisted prostatectomy is becoming the most popular surgical method for prostate cancer. The small incision after robot-assisted prostatectomy is thought to reduce the postoperative pain. There is few investigations for the strategy to reduce the postoperative pain of robot-assisted prostatectomy.

The intrathecal morphine injection is known to reduce postoperative pain for surgeries like hepatectomy, myomectomy and open prostatectomy. This method, however, is not yet studied for the robot-assisted prostatectomy. This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of intrathecal morphine for the patients undergoing robot-assisted prostatectomy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The evaluation of pain at 24 hours after surgery
Time Frame: at postoperatively 24 hours
The doctor blinded to the investigation will visit patients. The pain will be assessed at rest and at coughing using visual analogue scale.
at postoperatively 24 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The consumption of analgesics
Time Frame: at postoperatively 24 hours
The total amount of opioids (IV morphine) used for 24 hours after surgery will be recorded and compared.
at postoperatively 24 hours
The consumption of intraoperative opioids
Time Frame: From the induction of anesthesia till the emergence of anesthesia, an expected average of 4 hours
The total amount of intraoperative opioids (IV remifentanil) will be recorded and compared.
From the induction of anesthesia till the emergence of anesthesia, an expected average of 4 hours
The side effects of opioids after surgery
Time Frame: During 72 hours after the end of surgery
Any side effects of opioids including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sedation, headache, pruritus and respiratory depression will be recorded.
During 72 hours after the end of surgery
