Results Overview

Postoperative pain was measured by verbal rate scale (VRS) Scale of 0-10 at instance of 4-week post-op visit (or phone call). 0 represents no pain while 10 represents worst possible pain.

Measure
CONTROL: IV Lido
CONTROL: Intravenous lidocaine, pre- and post-surgery (IV Lido) IV Lidocaine: 1. Intravenous Lidocaine infusion (control arm, current standard of care) n= 35 1. 100 mg/5mL intravenous bolus of lidocaine 2% PF 5mL will be initiated by anesthesia service prior to general anesthesia induction. 2. 1.5 mg/kg/hr to begin prior to incision and continue until discontinued 1 hr postoperatively in PACU. Patients will be monitored in PACU for at least 30 minutes after discontinuation of lidocaine drip. 3. Adhesive tapes will be applied at the presumed level of TAP block puncture sites.
EXPERIMENTAL: Exparel
EXPERIMENTAL: TAP block with liposomal bupivacaine will be given as an injection (Exparel) Exparel: 2. Liposomal bupivacaine TAP block (experimental arm) n= 35 1. Block will be administered after induction of anesthesia and before incision by a specifically trained attending surgeon or surgical fellow with the colorectal service. 2. A single vial of liposomal bupivacaine (20 mL 1.3%, 13.3mg/mL, 266 mg) will be diluted in 50cc bupivacaine to a volume of 60cc prior to administration. This will be divided into 2 doses for bilateral TAP blocks. 3. The LB will be administered under ultrasound guidance in the transversus abdominis plain per manufacturer recommendations. 4. Adhesive tapes will be applied at the level of the TAP block puncture sites.
