Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: The main object is to make the postoperative analgesia better and enhance the mobilization after nephrectomies due to renal cell carcinoma<br><br>;Secondary Objective: Better analgesia and mobilization can give the patients earlier recover and shorter hospitalization. Furthermore the use of urinary catheters can be shortened as well as a lower use of analgesics. Other secondary objectives are that the spinal method can shorten the procedures in the operation theater and have lower costs. ;Primary end point(s): A better patients’ mobility index” is expected in the group of patients with spinal analgesia. This motility index is based on: postoperative pain, unwell, need for intravenous fluid, and mobilization factors as: walking in corridor, flatulence, getting out of bed without help, urinary bladder catheter and eating in dining room.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3rd day
Secondary Outcome Measures
