A Randomized Controlled Trial to Compare the Effectiveness of Deep vs. Moderate Neuromuscular Blockade in Reducing Postoperative Pain and Intra-Abdominal Insufflation Pressure During Minimally Invasive Robotic Prostatectomy

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in intra-abdominal
pressure which surgeons use during surgery and post-surgery pain in men who undergo robotic
prostate surgery with deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB), compared with moderate NMB.
