Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients planned to perform nephrectomy due to renal cell carcinoma, having a ASA score between I and III. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

As well as patients having a body weight less than 45 kg or more than 120 kg.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main object is to make the postoperative analgesia better and enhance the mobilization after nephrectomies due to renal cell carcinoma ;Secondary Objective: Better analgesia and mobilization can give the patients earlier recover and shorter hospitalization. Furthermore the use of urinary catheters can be shortened as well as a lower use of analgesics. Other secondary objectives are that the spinal method can shorten the procedures in the operation theater and have lower costs. ;Primary end point(s): A better patients’ “mobility index” is expected in the group of patients with spinal analgesia. This motility index is based on: postoperative pain, unwell, need for intravenous fluid, and mobilization factors as: walking in corridor, flatulence, getting out of bed without help, urinary bladder catheter and eating in dining room.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3rd day

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Motility index of days 1,2,4,5,6; Daily pain according to the VAS scale Time to first postoperative rescue analgesic Time to surgery from entering the operation theater Dosing of Fenylefrin during surgery. Time at postoperative unit Time to fist bowel delivery Time to discharge from hospital Difference in complications using the Clavian classification Any difference in oxygen concentration, median and systolic artery pressure will be evaluated from the surgery and in the postoperative unit. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: depending on the study variable, se above
