Preoperatively, patients will be counseled on optimization of physical and nutritional status. They will receive carbohydrate loading drinks prior to surgery. Intraoperatively, standard ASA monitors will be utilized, and patients will receive general anesthesia. Goal directed fluid management will be enforced with bolus options based on hemodynamics. Transabdominal plane and rectus sheath block will be performed in the operating room by the regional anesthesia team. Post-operatively pain management will include multimodal analgesic medications. Regular diet will be allowed and encouraged on post-operative day 0 (POD). Lines and drains will be minimized to encourage early mobilization and bowel function.
