Liposomal Bupivacaine vs. Bupivacaine Hydrochloride and Lidocaine During Suburethral Sling Placement
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Postoperative pain, the quality of their recovery and the opioid consumption following a midurethral sling placement are being compared between 2 groups. One group will have the hydro-dissection performed with a diluted liposomal bupivacaine solution. The other group will have the hydro-dissection performed with a diluted bupivacaine HCL and Lidocaine solution.

Detailed Description
This is a prospective, comparative, randomized study. Women with pure stress urinary incontinence or mixed urinary incontinence with a predominant stress component who had chosen to proceed with a midurethral sling will be randomized to two groups. The study group will have the hydro-dissection performed with a diluted liposomal bupivacaine solution. The comparison group would have the hydro-dissection performed with a diluted bupivacaine HCL and Lidocaine solution. The postoperative pain will be compared between groups using a visual analog scale. The quality of recovery will be compared between the groups using the quality of recovery short form. Postoperative opioid consumption will be compared between the two groups.

| Active Comparator: Bupivacaine Hydrochloride and Lidocaine Bupivacaine Hydrochloride (HCL) and Lidocaine. Fifty mL of 0.05% Marcaine and 30 mL of Lidocaine will be diluted in 100 mL of injectable saline used for hydro-dissection of the vesicovaginal space and along the track of the sling trocars during the placement of a suburethral sling. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative Day 1 Pain [Patient will record her average pain on postop day 1. She will return this result at her postop visit 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.]
Average pain rating experienced on postoperative day one using the visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm. This will be recorded by the patient prior to going to bed.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Second Stage PACU Postoperative Pain [The PACU nurse will record the patient's pain level upon admission to second stage PACU. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.]
Visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm will be used to evaluate the pain score experienced upon admission to second stage PACU.
- Postoperative Pain Upon Discharge [The PACU nurse will record the patient's pain level upon discharge to home. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.]
Visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm will be used to evaluate the pain score experienced upon discharge from the hospital.
- Postoperative Pain Four Hours After Discharge [Record the average pain 4 hours after discharge to home. She will return this result at her postop visit 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.]
Visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm will be used to evaluate the pain score experienced. This will be recorded 4 hours after being discharged from the hospital.
- Night of Surgery Postoperative Pain [Pt will record her average pain on the night of surgery. She will return this result at her postop visit which is approximately 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.]
Visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm will be used to evaluate the pain score experienced that day and recorded prior to going to bed on the night of surgery.
- Postoperative Days 2 through 7 Pain [Pt will record her average pain from postop days 2-7. She will return this result at her postop visit 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.]
Visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm will be used to evaluate the pain score experienced that day and recorded prior to going to bed on postop days 2-7.
- Preoperative Quality of Recovery [The patient will complete the questionnaire prior to surgery. This will be collected prior to surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.]
Baseline Quality of Life and Recovery as measured by the ambulatory QoR15 preoperatively on the day of surgery.
- Postoperative Days 1, 7 and 14 Quality of Recovery [The patient will complete the questionnaire on postop days 1, 7 & 14. She will return these results at her postop visit 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.]
Quality of Life and Recovery as measured by the ambulatory QoR15 on postoperative days 1, 7 and 14.
- Postoperative Narcotic Consumption [The patient will record narcotic consumption each day from the day of surgery to postop day 7. She will return this result at her postop visit 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.]
The total amount of narcotic taken the night of surgery and each day thereafter through postoperative day seven will be recorded each night prior to going to bed.
