The rationale for this study is to investigate the benefits of epidural analgesia in
pancreatic resections in a prospective, single blind, randomized control trial. This study
will evaluate both short and long-term outcomes related to epidural analgesia, providing a
longitudinal and comprehensive perspective to the advantages and disadvantages of this
technique. The investigators hypothesize that the use of epidural analgesia reduces a
patient's consumption of morphine or morphine-equivalent in the post-operative period
following pancreatic resections.
