Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
the NRS pain scores on activity 12-hours after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures
the pain scores at rest determined by the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0-10)
The NRS (a number scale from 0 to 10) is a commonly used pain intensity rating tool
incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)
ambulation time
time of recovery of bowel movement
defined as the time to first flatus
postoperative length of hospital stay
patient's satisfaction of anesthesia and analgesia
use the Chinese version of Bauer questionnaire to assess the patient satisfaction of anesthesia
the NRS pain scores on activity after surgery
