Association between perioperative intraperitoneal local anaesthetic infusion and long‐term survival and cancer recurrence after colectomy: follow‐up analysis of a previous randomized controlled trial

High concentrations of local anaesthetic have an anti‐proliferative effect on colonic cancer in vitro. Intraperitoneal local anaesthetic (IPLA) has shown analgesic benefit and improved recovery in the perioperative setting. The long‐term effects of IPLA in colon cancer resection have not been examined. This study aims to review the survival and oncological outcomes of a previously conducted trial that compared perioperative IPLA with placebo.
