Summary
This study was designed to assess the effectiveness of epidural patient-controlled analgesia
compared to intravenous patient-controlled analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic
gastrectomy. The investigators hypothesized that epidural PCA would be more effective in pain
control than IV PCA even for laparoscopic gastrectomy.
