简要总结
Hypothesis:
Electrical stimulation of the abdominal vagus nerve has anti-inflammatory effects which lead to a faster postoperative recovery after abdominal surgery.
Aims:
In the present study, the investigators want evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of peroperative electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve. In addition, the investigators want to determine whether vagus nerve stimulation leads to a faster postoperative recovery. To this end, the following aims are formulated:
- to determine whether vagus nerve stimulation leads to an improvement in gastrointestinal transit using radiological testing
- to evaluate whether electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve leads to clinical improvement (daily questionnaire)
- to show that electrical stimulation of the intra-abdominal vagus nerve reduces the inflammatory response to abdominal surgery
