About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Hemorrhoid focused on measuring Liposomal Bupivacaine, Exparel

Eligibility Criteria

21 Years - 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy for grade 3 or 4 hemorrhoids who are English-speaking patients, 21-65 yr of age, ASA physical status I-III, BMI<30

Exclusion Criteria:

  • contraindications to administration of local anesthesia (e.g., local anesthetic allergy), difficult airway (Mallampati>2), psychiatric or cognitive disorders, pregnancy , and history of substance abuse or chronic opioid use

Bupivacaine HCl with epinephrine

Normal Saline

Arm Description

266mg/20mL Exparel (to be diluted with 10 mL sterile saline to make 30 mL)

75mg/30mL 0.25% Bupivacaine HCl with epinephrine

30mL Normal Saline

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Post Operative Pain Control
The primary objective is to evaluate analgesia following local infiltration of 30 mL Exparel or the same volume of 0.25% bupivacaine HCl with epinephrine or normal saline. The intensity of pain will be measured using a numerical rating scale (NRS-11) in which 0 represents no pain, and 10 represents extreme pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Oxycodone Tablets Taken
Number of postoperative opioid consumption - oxycodone tablets (5mg each)
Postoperative Opioid Consumption - Hydromorphone I.V
Number of Participants With Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting
Number of participants with postoperative nausea and vomiting episodes
Number of Participants With Pain During Bowel Movements
Number of participants with pain during postoperative bowel movements
Number of Participants With Urinary Retention

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the quality and duration of pain relief after a hemorrhoidectomy, provided by locally administered liposomal bupivacaine versus bupivacaine hcl or control with saline. It is hypothesized that liposomal bupivacaine will provide more effective postoperative pain relief than both bupivacaine hcl and the control.
