Abstract
Events occurring in the perioperative period may have persistent effects beyond discharge from the hospital. The role of regional anesthesia in the improvement of long-term patient outcome has been evaluated in several studies. The goal of this review is to examine how the anesthetic management, particularly regional anesthesia, could influence long-term mortality, cancer recurrence, cognitive dysfunction, persistent chronic pain and rehabilitation in the postoperative period.
