Summary

This study compares two drugs, lidocaine and ketamine, given through an IV during and after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see which one better lowers inflammation (measured by a substance called Interleukin-6) and helps with pain and recovery. About 50 adults having open colorectal surgery will take part.
