This procedure allows better pain control on the postoperative day 1 and is associated with fewer side effects than narcotic analgesics.Anaesthesia and surgical trauma induce oxidative stress. The safety of anaesthesia, which is an important step in the surgery, can be determined on the basis of its effect on oxidative stress and inflammation. Surgical trauma leads to severe neuroendocrine
