Study aims to compare the influence of TIVA and sevoflurane anesthesia with or without lidocaine on postoperative short and long term outcome in patients with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery.

As short term endpoints postoperative pain and opioid consumption, resumption of bowel function, PONV, LOS will be registered.

Long term outcome parameters include: the incidence of chronic pain, 1 and 5 years cancer recurrences incidence and mortality.
Main goals

Comparative evaluation of the incidence of recurrences after TIVA vs sevoflurane anesthesia
Evaluation of the effect of lidocaine infusion associated with TIVA/sevoflurane on the incidence of chronic pain and of cancer recurrences and survival.

Secondary objectives

Evaluation of the influence of lidocaine on postoperative outcome in patients with colorectal cancer
Evaluation of the influence of lidocaine on postoperative inflammatory response
Evaluation of the influence of lidocaine on the incidence and severity of postoperative pain and outcome in patients with colorectal cancer
