Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Bupivacaine hydrochlorideLiposomal bupivacaine plus bupivacaine

Bupivacaine hydrochloride: The 40 mL 0.25% Bupivacaine hydrochloride (100 mg, normal saline dilution) for the Bupivacaine hydrochloride group.Local infiltration will be performed by the surgeon before closure. A total of 30mL of fluid will be injected at the incision.The PCA solution is prepared by diluting 100 μg of sufentanil and 16 mg of ondansetron with normal saline to a total volume of 100 mL. Postoperatively, the patient may press the demand button for analgesia. Each activation delivers a 2 mL bolus, with a lockout interval of 10 minutes.If analgesia remains inadequate after four consecutive demands, one Oxycodone and Acetaminophen Tablets (containing 5 mg oxycodone hydrochloride and 325 mg acetaminophen) is administered orally, with a minimum interval of 6 hours between repeated administrations. If pain persists, intravenous morphine 5 mg may be administered at intervals no shorter than 4 hours.

Liposomal bupivacaine plus bupivacaine: The 20 mL (266 mg) of liposomal bupivacaine will be mixed with a volume of 20 mL 0.25% Bupivacaine hydrochloride (50 mg, normal saline dilution) for the Liposomal Bupivacaine plus Bupivacaine hydrochloride group.Local infiltration will be performed by the surgeon before closure.

Study summary

Compared with traditional laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery offers advantages including minimal invasiveness, accelerated patient recovery, and reduced hospital stay. Although postoperative incision pain is generally less severe than that following laparotomy, it remains a notable clinical issue that impedes patient recovery. The majority of patients report incisional discomfort, with approximately 30% to 50% requiring oral analgesics to alleviate pain symptoms. Within the first two days after laparoscopic procedures, most patients experience varying degrees of incisional pain, with peak intensity typically occurring within hours after surgery and gradually subsiding over two to three days. Studies indicate that local infiltration anesthesia at the surgical site significantly ameliorates postoperative incision pain, enhances analgesic efficacy, and shortens recovery time in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Liposomal bupivacaine(LB) is a novel, long-acting, sustained-release amide-type local anesthetic, providing localized analgesic effects for up to 72 hours. Some researchers have reported the analgesic effects of LB VS traditional local anesthetics infiltration, but the current research results are highly heterogeneous. More prospective studies are needed to evaluate whether LB infiltration is superior to the traditional local anesthetics for the management of postoperative pain. The investigators designed this study to compare the analgesic effect of using LB plus bupivacaine for local infiltration with bupivacaine along for patients after laparoscopic surgery.
