Liposomal vs. Standard Bupivacaine for Pain after Keyhole Abdominal Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
