Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of epidural block combined with general anesthesia on recovery after radical resection of colorectal cancer. Methods A total of 64 patients who underwent radical surgery for colorectal cancer from August 2021 to March 2024 were selected. They were divided into a combination anesthesia group (hereinafter referred to as the combination group) and a control group based on different anesthesia methods,with 32 cases in each group. The control group received general anesthesia for surgery, while the combination group received general anesthesia combined with intrathecal anesthesia. The incidence rate of postoperative complications, first exhaust time, defecation time, and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Results After the surgery, the incidence rate of postoperative complications in the combination group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The first postoperative exhaust time, defecation time, and length of hospital stay in the combination group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05). The visual analogue scale (VAS) score at 12 h after surgery was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Epidural block combined with general anesthesia can significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative complications after radical resection of colorectal cancer, promote postoperative exhaust and defecation, and shorten the length of hospital stay.
