Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Adductor Canal Block
With mild sedation, a continous bupivacaine 0.1% infusion catheter is placed in the adductor canal. Afterwards, patients are placed under General Anesthesia, and surgery starts. Preoperative, 2 hours and 24 hours stress biomarkers and analgesic quality will be measured.
Continous peripheral nerve block
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Patient Controlled Morphine Analgesia
Patients are placed under General Anesthesia, and after surgery, a Morphine patient controlled analgesia delivery system is installed. Preoperative, 2 hours and 24 hours stress biomarkers and analgesic quality will be measured.
Morphine Patient Controlled Analgesia Delivery System
Other Names:
  • Patient Controlled Analgesia
