July 13, 2020 updated by: Lauren Smith, Kettering Health Network

Comparison of Exparel (Bupivacaine Liposome) to Marcaine (Bupivacaine) in Post-Surgical Analgesia for Laparoscopic Trocar Site Incisions in Bariatric Surgery

This study is designed to evaluate the use of bupivacaine liposome 1.3% compared bupivacaine 0.5% in pain control in post-operative laparoscopic bariatric surgery patient The purpose of this study is to evaluate two local anesthetics and determine if there is an advantage of administering one medication compared over the other. The intent is show that one local anesthetic.allows for improved pain control as per the pain scale ratings of the test subjects.
