Improving Pain Control in Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: Intravenous Lidocaine Versus Placebo

Summary

We aim to study the impact of perioperative IV lidocaine on postoperative pain control in patients undergoing paraesophageal hernia repair. This is in the context of an established ERAS protocol. We wish to study the effect of IV Lidocaine on postoperative short and long-term outcomes, including patients' length of stay postoperative mortality, morbidity, and quality of life. We will compare this to our standard pain management.
