About this trial
It is a prospective, randomized, controlled and superiority clinical trial, with the objective of comparing the effectiveness of multimodal anesthesia versus conventional anesthesia in patients undergoing oncological robotic nephrectomy within a short-stay surgery program (SSA). The effect of no specific drug will be evaluated, but rather the anesthetic approach ologies of surgical patients. The clinical trial will be carried out in a third-level university hospital, between the first half of 2026 and the second half of 2027 and, after approval by the corresponding Clinical Research Ethics Committee.

Treatments tested in this trial
Multimodal anesthesia
DrugAdministration of multimodal anesthesia in patients randomized to this arm and undergoing oncological robotic nephrectomies according to usual practice. Premedication: Midazolam: 1-2mg Ondansetron: 4-8mg IV Dexamethasone: 4-8mg IV +/-Scopolamine (patients high risk PONV) iv Magnesi Sulfate: 30-50mg/Kg iv Induction: Fentanyl: 1mcg/kg iv Propofol: 1-2mg/Kg iv Rocuroni: 0.3mg/kg iv Lidocaine: 1.1.5mg/Kg iv bolus Ketamine: 0.25-0.5mg/Kg Methadone: 0.5-0.1mg/kg IV at the beginning of the surgical incision (single dose). Maintenance: Propofol/sevorane Rocuroni: 0.3mg/kg/h iv Lidocaine: 1-2 mg/Kg/h Ketamine: 0.1-0.2 mg/kg/h Postoperative: Paracetamol: 1g/8h IV Metamizole: 1g/8h iv Rescue opioids if VAS\>4: Adolonta or Morphine
Conventional anesthesia
DrugAdministration of conventional anesthesia in patients randomized to this arm and undergoing oncological robotic nephrectomies according to usual practice. Premedication: Midazolam: 1-2mg Ondansetron: 4-8 mg IV Dexamethasone: 4-8 mg IV +/-Scopolamine (patients high risk PONV) iv Induction: Fentanyl: 1mcg/kg iv Propofol: 1-2mg/kg iv Rocuroni: 0.3mg/kg iv Maintenance: Propofol/sevorane Rocuroni: 0.3mg/kg/h iv Remifentanil: 0.05-0.2 mcg/Kg/h Methadone: 1-1.5mg/kg IV at the end of surgery Postoperative: Paracetamol: 1g/8h IV Metamizole: 1g/8h iv Rescue opioids if VAS\>4: Adolonta or Morphine.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change hospital admission time and earlier discharge
Changes over time in the hospital stay, expressed in hours, will be measured and reported.
Secondary outcomes
Post surgery pain
Postoperative pain will be assessed using the VAS scale (Visual Analogue Scale) at 6, 24 and 48 hours. The results will be recorded on a scale of 0 (minimal pain) to 10 (maximum pain).
Cumulative consumption of opioids
Compare the cumulative consumption of opioids (morphine equivalents).
Nausea and vomiting
Compare the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).
Early ambulation
Compare the time in hours from end of surgery to early ambulation during hospitalization.
