Liposomal numbing medicine for belly incisions in vascular surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two numbing options for pain control after open belly (mid-abdominal) vascular surgery: a longer-lasting numbing drug in the belly muscle layer versus a different numbing drug and catheter. It aims to see which approach better reduces postoperative pain and opioid use, and may help improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are scheduled for elective open mid-belly surgery for vascular problems (like abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, mesenteric artery bypass, or aortobifemoral bypass)
- You can read and speak English
- Your overall health score (ASA) is I to IV
- The surgery is planned at least 3 days after you are admitted to the hospital

This study compares two types of numbing injections (a longer-acting option versus standard numbing) placed near nerves to help control pain during laparoscopic colon surgery. It looks to see which method works better and is safe for patients having planned surgery.
This trial tests if a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the back muscles can provide better pain relief after open upper belly surgery. It may help reduce pain and the need for other painkillers.
This trial tests a long-acting painkiller injected during surgery to see if it reduces pain after keyhole (laparoscopic) procedures like gallbladder removal, hernia repair, or appendix removal. It may help you need fewer opioids and recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than standard bupivacaine to control pain after keyhole surgery on the liver, bile ducts, or pancreas. It may help you experience less pain and need fewer painkillers after surgery.
This trial is testing if a special numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine, given as a nerve block during surgery, can help reduce pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. It might help you feel better with less need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine placed near the surgical site can reduce pain after a specific type of brain surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
