Study Summary

Colon and rectal surgery is associated with high cost, long length of stay, high postoperative surgical site infection rate, high incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and a high rate of hospital readmission. Return of bowel function is of utmost importance in avoiding patient discomfort, morbidity, and mortality after colorectal surgery. All patient having colorectal surgery receive neuromuscular paralysis, which is reversed at the end of surgery with either glycopyrrolate and neostigmine, or sugammadex. Glycopyrrolate and neostigmine both affect bowel function. Sugammadex has no effect on bowel function. The purpose of this study is to determine if a strategy of neuromuscular reversal with sugammadex, instead of glycopyrrolate and neostigmine, may increase gastric emptying after surgery and lead to less postoperative complications.

Primary Outcome

Gastric emptying as assessed by the area under the paracetamol concentration-time curve by trapezoidal approximation (AUC)

Interventions
