Analgesic Efficacy of Levobupivacaine Administration in Periprosthetic Breast Augmentation With Implants

The purpose of this study is to determine whether levobupivacaine is effective in the acute postoperative pain treatment in periprosthetic breast augmentation

Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Detailed Description

One of the most common plastic surgery is breast augmentation using prosthesis ( mammoplasty Surgery with cohesive silicone gel prosthesis insubpectoral plane). Remains challenging management of acute postoperative pain that allows for early discharge of patients. To this end the following objectives are proposed: evaluate the analgesic efficacy of L-Bupivacaine 0.25% vs. Placebo (saline) administered irrigation into the surgical pocket bilaterally intraoperatively.
