Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of R.E.C.K (ropivacaine epinephrine clonidine ketorolac) vs Exparel during robotic partial and radical nephrectomy in a single institution, prospective, randomized trial. The study will evaluate post operative Numerical Rating Score (NRS) pain scores, post operative pain medication intake (opioids and over-the-counter pain medicines) and length of stay across the two patient cohorts. The findings will help to inform whether the increased cost of Exparel when compared to R.E.C.K is justified.

Primary Outcome

Assess pain intensity (evaluated by NRS) after surgery on the as response to the prompt: "On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain, how much pain are you having right now?" The AUC will be derived for each participant from self-reported pain scores and will be summarized by treatment group. Generalized linear models with main effect of treatment will be estimated to test for significant differences in AUC between the arms.
