Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, multi-surgeon, single blind, non-randomized, controlled trial with breasts allocated to two parallel groups: A mixture of liposomal (Exparel) bupivacaine with plain 0.25% bupivacaine hydrochloride will be used on one side (Treatment side) as local infiltration, and plain 0.25% Bupivacaine Hydrochloride will be used in the control arm. Each breast will serve as the control for the other. The study is designed to evaluate early postoperative pain control of each of the products up to 72 hours postoperatively. These treatments are standard of care in clinical practice.
