| Measure | Time frame |

| Secondary end point(s): 1. Post-operative pain level during movement in the first 2 days after laparoscopic colon or rectum surgery. 2. Post-operative pain level during rest in the first 2 days after laparoscopic colon or rectum surgery. 3. Post-operative pain level during rest and movement from the third until the fifth day after laparoscopic colon or rectum surgery (one day after epidural catheter removal) 4. Incidence of pain events and the average pain intensity in body parts outside of the area of operations. 5. Incidence of new organ dysfunctions, side effects, frequency and amount of intake of rescue medication. 6. Postoperative LOS/ postoperative ICU stay 7. Patients level of satisfaction ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. In the first 2 days after laparoscopic colon or rectum surgery 2. In the first 2 days after laparoscopic colon or rectum surgery 3. One day after epidural catheter removal 4. and 5. study period 6. period of hospital stay/ICU stay 7. study period | — |

| Main Objective: To demonstrate that the administration of etoricoxib 120mg additionally to the clinical routine therapy (epidural catheter) reduces the post-operative pain level during movement at the thrid day after laparoscopic colon or rectum surgery in the fast-track design. ;Secondary Objective: To demonstrate that the administration of etoricoxib 120mg additionally to the clinical routine therapy (epidural catheter): 1. reduces the post-operative pain level during movement in the first 2 days after laparoscopic colon or rectum surgery in the fast-track design. 2. reduces the post-operative pain level during rest in the first 2 days after laparoscopic colon or rectum surgery in the fast-track design. 3. reduces the post-operative pain level during rest and movement from the third until the fifth day after laparoscopic colon or rectum surgery (one day after epidural catheter removal) 4. reduces the incidence of pain events and the average pain intensity in body parts outside of the area of operations. 5. reduces the incidence of new organ dysfuntions, side effects, frequency and amount of intake of rescue medication 6. reduces postoperative LOS 7. increases the patients level of satisfaction.;Primary end point(s): Primary end point of the study is the average pain level (scale 0-10) in the area of surgery during movement (walking a fixed number of steps) under active epidural analgesia, at the third day following laparoscopic colon or rectum surgery.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: third postoperative day | — |
