Purpose
The purpose of this study is determine if epidural anesthesia administered after surgery or lidocaine administered during surgery will decrease inflammation after spinal surgery and decrease the need for post operative pain medication compared to intravenous patient controlled analgesia. Participants undergoing spine surgery will be randomized into one of two groups;
- A.) General Anesthesia and postoperative Patient Controlled Analgesia and placebo IV infusion.
B.) General Anesthesia plus perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion, and post operative Patient Controlled Analgesia.

| Official Title: | Effect of Perioperative Intravenous Lidocaine Administration or Epidural Anesthesia on Postoperative Outcomes in Complex Spine Surgery |
- pain scores [ Time Frame: day one ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The pain score as measured by VAS every 30 minutes during PACU stay, then per nursing floor protocol (roughly every 4-6 hours), and pain medications requirement for entire hospital stay in the two groups.
- pain medication requirement [ Time Frame: daily, for duration of hospital stay ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The pain score as measured by VAS every 30 minutes during PACU stay, then per nursing floor protocol (roughly every 4-6 hours), and pain medications requirement for entire hospital stay in the two groups.
- major post operative complications [ Time Frame: daily, throughout hospitalization ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The occurrence in an individual of one or more major complications.
- Inflammatory markers [ Time Frame: day one and two ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Blood samples will be collected immediately before surgery (T0) for baseline measurement, immediately after the operation at time (T1), and on postoperative day one and two (T2 and T3).
- Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) [ Time Frame: day one ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV)will be noted during day one post operative.
- Postoperative Bowel Function [ Time Frame: daily through hospitalization ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Patients will be questioned at each visit and asked to note the time of first flatus and first bowel movement. Oral intake will be measured until subjects tolerated regular meals.
- Duration of hospitalization [ Time Frame: daily ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Length of hospital stay will be recorded in days.
- Return to function [ Time Frame: 30 days post operative ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will evaluate several aspects of post-surgical recovery and return to normal function. Our major instrument will be the Acute SF 12 health survey.
- Return to function [ Time Frame: 90 days post operative ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will evaluate several aspects of post-surgical recovery and return to normal function. Our major instrument will be the Acute SF 12 health survey.
- Consumption of Neuromuscular blocker [ Time Frame: day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Before 45 min to end of surgery rocuronium infusion will be stopped and total consumption of muscle relaxant will be recorded.

Detailed Description:
According to a survey of 1570 U.S neurosurgeons, in the United States about 527.000 spine surgeries were done in 1999. This represents close to 65% of the procedures performed by neurosurgeons. Furthermore, the number of hospitalizations related with spine surgery has significantly increased since 1970.
IV PCA is considered the standard of care for postoperative pain control after surgery. Intravenous opioids have significant side effects such as respiratory depression, postoperative nausea and vomiting and sedation. Furthermore, they cause delayed return of bowel function and ileus.
There is the possibility of surgically inserting a catheter into the epidural space at the end of surgery. In general epidural analgesia provides excellent pain relief after surgery and decreases opioid consumption significantly und thus opioid related postoperative complications. Furthermore epidural anesthesia affects the surgical stress response and might decrease inflammatory responses after surgery, thereby improving postoperative recovery and mobilization of the patients.
Intravenous local anesthetics have potent anti-inflammatory properties. They also decrease postoperative opioid consumption. Clinical studies have shown that perioperative local anesthetic administration significantly reduces the incidence of thrombosis and postoperative pain, shortens postoperative ileus and decreases duration of hospitalization.
