Summary
The primary aim of this randomized, double-blind study is to examine the effect of a single
intraoperative dose of methadone on analgesic requirements during the first three days after
hepatobiliary or foregut surgery. These patients will be compared to subjects receiving a
standard dose of the "traditional" intraoperative opioid (hydromorphone). Secondary outcome
measures to be assessed will include postoperative pain scores and standard recovery
variables such as hospital length of stay.
