A Randomized Controlled Trial of Wound Infiltration With Extended-release Versus Short-acting Bupivacaine Before Laparoscopic or Robotic Hysterectomy
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Liposomal Bupivacaine and Bupivacaine HCl for Pain, Postoperative and Surgical Procedure, Unspecified. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators are studying ways to improve pain control after surgery. One way to decrease pain is to inject incisions with a numbing medicine (local anesthetic) while in the operating room. There is an FDA approved extended-release version of a commonly used local anesthetic (bupivacaine) that can last for 4 days instead of 6 hours. The investigators are studying whether using the extended-release medication (Exparel) will give better pain relief after laparoscopic and robotic-assisted hysterectomies.
