Summary
This study is being done to compare 2 types of pain control methods and determine which is
more effective postoperatively for laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Group 1 will receive an
intrathecal (IT) injection in the back in which a small dose duramorph and bupivacaine will
be placed into the spinal fluid. Group 2 will receive an erector spinae plane (ESP) block in
which bupivacaine and decadron are injected near the nerves under a muscle in the back.
