An Assessment of Goal-Directed Intraoperative Fluid Management in Hand Assisted Laparoscopic Colectomy

The purpose of this study is to find out if guided fluid administration with the esophageal monitor is superior to standard fluid administration and whether use of the hetastarch or lactated ringers offers different benefits with respect to length of stay in the hospital after hand-assisted colorectal surgery.
