Enhancing Recovery: Postoperative Stellate Ganglion Block for Colorectal Cancer Surgery

Investigating the potential cardiovascular benefits of postoperative stellate ganglion block (SGB) after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery, this randomized trial aims to enroll 950 patients with at least one risk factor for myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery. Assessing outcomes such as myocardial injury incidence, pain levels, delirium, and recovery quality, the study explores whether SGB, traditionally used in algiatry, can mitigate adverse cardiac events and improve the overall recovery experience in colorectal cancer patients.
