Summary
The objective of this study is to determine if an opioid-free general anesthetic (OFA)
technique utilizing lidocaine, ketamine, dexmedetomidine and magnesium reduce postoperative
opioid consumption and speed return of bowel function in patients undergoing elective,
laparoscopic, colorectal surgery compared to traditional opioid-containing general anesthetic
techniques. It is hypothesized that this intraoperative OFA regimen will reduce postoperative
opioid consumption, and expedite return of bowel function in this population.
