Liposomal Bupivacaine Enhances the Pain-Control Benefits of Uniportal Thoracoscopic Lobectomy.

CONCLUSIONS: We have previously demonstrated decreased narcotic consumption with the use of uniportal technique over traditional multi-incision thoracoscopic surgery. The use of liposomal bupivacaine for posterior serratus and intercostal field blocks enhanced pain control and decreased narcotic consumption. PMID: 31229477 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
