InterventionPlease note that as of 04/08/10 the status of this trial has been updated to "Stopped". The study was closed on 16/01/09 due to difficulties in patient recruitment. The study did not reach sufficient power for trialists to reach a conclusion based on statistical significance.

The main findings were that in the limited number of subjects’ studied, there no significant differences between the groups in either the primary or secondary objectives. However, it was evident that both techniques can be used effectively for these types of operations.

Randomised into receiving one of two types of anaesthesia.
