Brief summary

Multiple lines of evidence have shown that anesthesia method is associated with long-term outcomes in patients undergoing surgery due to cancers, including lung, breast, prostate, and bladder cancer, etc. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been validated as prognostic biomarkers of a number of cancers. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of anesthesia methods on the number of CTCs in patients receiving transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). The difference of anesthesia method is achieved by using general anesthesia in one group and spinal anesthesia in the other group.

Interventions

PROCEDUREGeneral Anesthesia

Patients will have TURBT under general anesthesia, which is induced with midazolam, propofol, sufentanil and rocuronium. The patients will be mechanically ventilated with laryngeal mask airway (LMA). Anesthesia will be maintained with sevoflurane/desflurane, propofol and remifentanil.

PROCEDURESpinal Anesthesia

Patients will have TURBT under spinal anesthesia. 10\ 15mg of 0.5% ropivacaine will be injected in the subarachnoid cerebrospinal fluid at the levels of L2-L3 or L3-L4 in lumbar space. It will numb the nerve supply of the belly, hips, bottom as well as legs. The patient stays awake and won't feel any pain due to operation.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the number of Circulating Tumor Cellson the Day 7~10 after surgeryThe number of circulating tumor cells will be measured by collecting 5 ml of venous blood sample.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Surgeon Satisfactionimmediately after surgeryThe surgeon satisfaction will be measured with the Likert scale, which ranges from 0 to 50, with a higher score indicating higher satisfaction.
Patient Satisfactionwithin 24 hours after surgeryThe patient satisfaction will be measured with the Modified Bauer Scale, which ranges from 0 to 50, with a higher score indicating higher satisfaction.
Visual Analogue Scaleat 24 hours after surgeryPain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale, which ranges from 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating greater pain intensity at 24 hours after surgery.
Nausea Scoreat 24 hours after surgeryNausea score will be assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale, which ranges from 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating greater nausea ou score at 24 hours after surgery.
Hospitalization Daysup to 30 daysThe length of hospital stay will be recorded.
