Summary
This study tested two standard pain control methods after colon or rectal surgery: a local anesthetic delivered through small tubes placed near the surgical site (preperitoneal) versus an epidural. Researchers measured pain scores and the need for extra pain medication in 98 adults. The goal was to see if the local method works as well as the epidural for managing post-surgery pain.
