However, it costs much more than standard bupivacaine. A prospective, randomized, patient-blinded, controlled trial was performed to assess the efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine versus 0.25% bupivacaine when injected into surgical incisions during laparoscopic and robotic urologic surgery. METHODS A total of 206 adults were randomized to receive liposomal bupivacaine or 0.25% bupivacaine. All surgical incisions were injected with liposomal bupivacaine or 0.25% bupivacaine with systematic dosing. The primary outcome was total opioid consumption during the postoperative hospital stay. All opioid doses were converted to morphine equivalents. Secondary endpoints included pain scores using visual analog pain scales, duration of hospital stay, and the time to first opioid use. A subgroup analysis was performed for renal surgery patients. RESULTS There was no significant difference in mean total opioid use during the hospital stay between those who received liposomal bupivacaine (20.3 ± 18.5 mg) and 0.25% bupivacaine (24.1 ± 28.5 mg) (p = 0.39). Furthermore, pain scores, length of hospital stay, and time to first opioid use did not differ between groups. Subgroup analysis of laparoscopic renal surgery revealed no difference between liposomal bupivacaine and 0.25% bupivacaine. CONCLUSIONS For laparoscopic and robotic urologic surgery, there is no significant difference between liposomal bupivacaine and 0.25% bupivacaine for local analgesia at the incision sites. © 2015 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 193Issue 4SApril 2015Page: e475 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2015 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.MetricsAuthor Information Richard Knight More articles by this author Paul Walker More articles by this author Kirk Keegan More articles by this author Stephen Overholser More articles by this author Timothy Baumgartner More articles by this author James Ebertowski More articles by this author James Aden More articles by this author Michael White More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
