Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study employs a randomized controlled design. Participants will be stratified based on the type of surgical incision (midline or subcostal) and randomized into groups using a computer-generated random seed with permuted block randomization (variable block sizes of 2, 4, and 6). Prior to abdominal closure during surgery, the experimental group will receive liposomal bupivacaine injections into the preperitoneal space on both sides of the wound, while the control group will receive ropivacaine injections. Apart from this intervention, both groups will maintain identical protocols for anesthesia induction, maintenance, and postoperative systemic analgesia to accurately evaluate the relative efficacy of the two local analgesic agents.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Liposomal bupivacaine
Prior to abdominal closure, the subject received a preperitoneal administration of liposomal bupivacaine at the surgical incision site. The total injection dose did not exceed 266 mg. A volume of 1 ml of the drug solution was administered per 1.5 cm of wound length per side.
Liposomal bupivacaine
Upon abdominal closure following upper gastrointestinal open surgery, liposomal bupivacaine is administered preperitoneally along the surgical incision and diluted with normal saline according to the incision length.
ropivacaine
Prior to abdominal closure, the subject received a preperitoneal administration of 0.3% ropivacaine at the surgical incision site. A volume of 1 ml of the drug solution was administered per 1.5 cm of wound length per side.
ropivacaine
Prior to abdominal closure following upper gastrointestinal open surgery, ropivacaine is administered preperitoneally at the surgical incision site and diluted with normal saline to a concentration of 0.3%.
