The study is to observe whether dexmedetomidine could reduce agitation during emergence from general anesthesia in patients undergoing retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery.
Agitation during emergence is frequent after retroperitoneal urologic surgery. Dexmedetomidine is alpha-2 receptor agonist which shows sedative and algesic effect. In this study we will compare the effect of dexmedetomidine given by different protocols on emergence agitation.
