Conditions

Colorectal cancer

Interventions

Control group:Starting from anesthesia induction, intravenous infusion of placebo (normal saline) is administered until the patients return to the ward from the operating room or PACU.
Experimental group (Lidocaine):Starting from anesthesia induction, 2% lidocaine is administered via intravenous infusion (initial dose: 1.5 mg/kg) over 20 minutes
the maintenance dose is 1.5 mg/kg/h (maximum infusion rate: 120 mg/h) and is continued until the patient returns to the ward from the operating room or PACU.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Colorectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical surgery experienced local and/or metastatic recurrence within three years after the operation.;

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
