Cystectomy
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the difference between four different pain control methods in patients who will be having a cystectomy surgery (surgical removal of the bladder).
Detailed description
The purpose of this study is to compare the difference between four different pain control methods in patients who will be having a cystectomy surgery (surgical removal of the bladder). By collecting this data, we aim to show improved postoperative pain scores, decreased opioid needs, and decreased opioid side effects (feeling sick to your stomach, feeling drowsy/sleepy, blockage/lack of movement in the intestines, inability to completely empty the bladder, unusually slow or shallow breathing). The specific aim of this study is to compare the difference between the pain control methods in achieving the following: 1. Decreased opioid requirements 2. Improved postoperative VAS pain scores 3. Decreased opioid side effects (Nausea, sedation, ileus, respiratory depression) 4. Decreased hospital length of stay (LOS)

VAS Score at 1 Hour
The VAS score will be taken with both rest and movement (knee flexion) and will be measured by a study team investigator using Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Using a scale of 0-10 for documentation with 10 being the worst pain and 0 being no pain
Time frame: Pain scores will be measured 1 hour after surgery
