Interventions
After establishing pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery, the superior hypogastric plexus block will be performed on all patients. The block will contain 20 mL of 0.75% ropivacaine hydrochloride or 0.9% normal saline. The injection will be performed by tenting the presacral peritoneum, aspirating with a laparoscopic needle-tip syringe to ensure extravascular placement, and injecting the block.
