Assessing the Impact of EXPAREL(R) on Opioid Use and Patient Reported Outcomes When Administered by Infiltration Into the Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Under Ultrasound Guidance for Prolonged Postsurgical Analgesia in Lower Abdominal Surgeries
The purpose of this prospective, blinded assessor, randomized trial is to assess opioid use
and patient-reported outcomes of EXPAREL as a foundation in postsurgical pain therapy in
Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) infiltration in lower abdominal surgical procedures.
and patient-reported outcomes of EXPAREL as a foundation in postsurgical pain therapy in
Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) infiltration in lower abdominal surgical procedures.

opioids as part of the induction medications).
- Initiation of treatment with any of the following medications within 1 month of study
drug administration or if the medication(s) are being given to control pain: selective
