About this trial

The purpose of this research study is to see the outcome of Sugammadex versus Neostigmine with Glycopyrrolate in colorectal surgery as it relates to its effects on post-surgical time (in hours) to first bowel movement and tolerance for solid food (GI-2 recovery) following bowel resection surgery
