Study Summary

This study will compare the infiltrative transversusabdominis plane (TAP) block with liposomal bupivacaine to epidural analgesia (EA) in major abdominal surgery . The efficacy of the TAP block for abdominal surgery is well documented in literature, but there are no studies utilizing long-acting bupivacaine. The investigators believe the study will demonstrate no difference between the two in terms of pain scores and opioid consumption, but TAP blocks will decreased costs, urinary retention, and hypotension.
