Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * provision to sign and date the consent form. * stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and be available for the duration of the study. * Male and female patients aged 18 and older * Benign or malignant colorectal disease undergoing laparoscopic, robotic, or a "hybrid" (minimally invasive dissection with a 6-8 cm incision to complete the surgery) colorectal resection with or without an ostomy Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or breastfeeding patients * Medical conditions that may interfere with the use of the study medications (e.g., drug allergy), * Patients with opioid dependence defined as chronic opioid use more than 3 times per week preoperatively * Incarcerated individuals * Age less than 18 years-old * Urgent/emergent operations as defined by need for operation within 24 hours * Other conditions or general disability or infirmity that in the opinion of the investigator precludes further participation in the study. * Enrollment in another concurrent study with use of investigational drugs
