The basic objective of the study is to present the effects of two types of anesthesia, general and combined general and epidural, on intraoperative bleeding and to present the effect of epidural analgesia during the postoperative period in radical cystecomy. Subjects who received general and epidural anesthesia had on the average 28.5% less bleeding than those who only had general anesthesia. Patients who received postoperative epidural analgesia had statistically significantly better analgesia during the postoperative period than those who were administered Tramadol intramuscularly.
