Measure
Standard Bupivacaine
Patients in the control group will receive 0.25% bupivacaine hydrochloride (bupivacaine HCl). 10cc will be injected bilaterally into each uterosacral ligament prior to the colpotomy incision. After entry into the posterior cul-de-sac, an additional 10cc of will be injected bilaterally into the deeper uterosacral ligaments. Bupivacaine Hydrochloride: We currently administer local plain bupivacaine during vaginal hysterectomy to decrease pain in the postoperative period. Bupivacaine is an anesthetic that works by blocking nerve conduction and producing a numbing effect.
Liposomal Bupivacaine
Patients in the study group will receive a mixture of 0.5% bupivacaine HCl and liposomal bupivacaine in 1:1 ratio. 10cc of the mixture will be injected bilaterally into each uterosacral ligament prior to the colpotomy incision. After entry into the posterior cul-de-sac, an additional 10cc will be injected bilaterally into the deeper uterosacral ligaments Liposomal bupivacaine: Liposomal bupivacaine is a novel formulation of local bupivacaine and allows prolonged release of the medication, thereby providing longer lasting effects. It is approved by the FDA and has been shown to provide excellent pain control after surgery. Bupivacaine Hydrochloride: We currently administer local plain bupivacaine during vaginal hysterectomy to decrease pain in the postoperative period. Bupivacaine is an anesthetic that works by blocking nerve conduction and producing a numbing effect.
