Sevoflurane, Propofol, Postoperative Pain

The impact of anaesthetic method (intravenous vs. inhalational) has been proposed, but not proven in a large-scale study. The researchers aim to provide an investigation that has sufficient power to clarify the potential effect of anaesthetic method on postoperative need of opioids. Sevoflurane and propofol will be compared.
