The study has been designed as a prospective randomized clinical trial. Due to the use of a bispectral (BIS) monitor in the interventional arm, the study will not be blinded for the anesthetist. The total planned number of study subjects is 100. Patients will be randomly randomized upon arrival to the operating theatre (using the envelope method) into the interventional arm (BIS monitoring of the depth of general anesthesia), and into the control group (standard management of general anesthesia to minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) 1,0). The target values of the depth of general anesthesia according to BIS are between 40 and 60.
