Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the quality and duration of pain relief after a hemorrhoidectomy, provided by locally administered liposomal bupivacaine versus bupivacaine hcl or control with saline. It is hypothesized that liposomal bupivacaine will provide more effective postoperative pain relief than both bupivacaine hcl and the control.

Primary Outcome

The primary objective is to evaluate analgesia following local infiltration of 30 mL Exparel or the same volume of 0.25% bupivacaine HCl with epinephrine or normal saline. The intensity of pain will be measured using a numerical rating scale (NRS-11) in which 0 represents no pain, and 10 represents extreme pain.

Interventions

  • DRUG Exparel
  • DRUG Normal Saline
  • DRUG Bupivacaine HCl with Epinephrine
