What this trial is about
There are very few data in the literature on changes in inflammatory markers when lidocaine is administered perioperatively in patients with colorectal cancer. In patients undergoing surgery for colon cancer, the aim is to conduct a double-blind placebo-controlled study to determine differences in levels of pro-inflammatory markers, postoperative pain and opioid analgesic consumption in the first two days after surgery, and the time to first postoperative bowel movement. Groups of patients receiving perioperative lidocaine infusion, high dose dexamethasone or placebo will be compared.
