Official title

Laparoscopic Assisted Plane Block (LAPB) Trial: Bupivacaine Versus Liposomal Bupivacaine Versus Standard Local Anesthesia for Post-operative Analgesia

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study attempts to demonstrate improvement in analgesia in a more diverse laparoscopic surgery group with the use of laparoscopic assisted transversus abdominis plane blocks. The investigators will compare bupivacaine (treatment arm 1) versus liposomal bupivacaine (treatment arm 2) versus port site injection of local anesthesia with injection of saline placebo (control). The hypothesis is that liposomal bupivacaine will result in improved analgesia when compared to bupivacaine LAPB and control. The investigators further hypothesize that bupivacaine LAPB will be more effective than the control.
