What this trial studies

This interventional study focuses on tailoring postoperative analgesia for patients undergoing major open abdominal surgeries. It examines the use of epidural-administered opioids as part of a structured pain management plan to address the high pain burden after procedures such as colectomy, hepatectomy, and nephrectomy. The goal is to minimize pain while reducing complications and promoting faster recovery, taking into account individual patient factors and surgical specifics. The trial builds on prior evidence suggesting epidural analgesia can improve pain scores and recovery in abdominal surgery settings. Conducted at Evangelismos General Hospital with leadership from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, the study emphasizes precision analgesia in a heterogeneous surgical population.
