Brief summary (from the registry)

For more than 25 years, Regional Anesthesia has challenged anesthesiologists to determine whether it offers real benefits in terms of patient outcome from major surgery, compared with general anesthesia. Although it is clear that regional analgesia in association with general anesthesia substantially reduces postoperative pain, the benefits in terms of overall perioperative outcome are controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect on short and long-term postoperative outcomes of adding regional analgesia to general anaesthesia in thoridetomic patients.
