Opioid Free Anesthesia vs. Opioid Anesthesia Techniques.

The study population will be composed of 100 patients total, 50 opioid-free anesthesia laparoscopic colectomy patients and 50 opioid anesthesia laparoscopic colectomy patients at Tampa General Hospital. After consent is obtained patients will be electronically randomized using REDCap in a 1:1 ratio and assigned to a opioid anesthesia or opioid free anesthesia group. Patients will also consent to be asked survey questions preoperatively and be followed for 12 months postoperatively at specific intervals to evaluate pain, satisfaction, and opioid prescription use. This will be done through a data mining platform and service known as REDCap. REDCap is partnered with USF to allow for subject management, data collection and the distribution of surveys via mobile phone. All data collected by REDCap is stored on a HIPPA compliant server. Patients will receive automated push notifications to their mobile phones to fill out surveys regarding their pill usage, pain, and satisfaction for a year or until cessation of opioid use is confirmed. Confirmation of opioid cessation will be performed on a case by case basis by the principal investigator, Dr. Camporesi. In addition to the surveys performed, nausea and pain scores will be collected prospectively from observation in the PACU
