About this study

Official title: Liposomal Bupivacaine vs. Bupivacaine Hydrochloride and Lidocaine During Suburethral Sling Placement: a Randomized Control Trial

Postoperative pain, the quality of their recovery and the opioid consumption following a midurethral sling placement are being compared between 2 groups. One group will have the hydro-dissection performed with a diluted liposomal bupivacaine solution. The other group will have the hydro-dissection performed with a diluted bupivacaine HCL and Lidocaine solution.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, comparative, randomized study. Women with pure stress urinary incontinence or mixed urinary incontinence with a predominant stress component who had chosen to proceed with a midurethral sling will be randomized to two groups. The study group will have the hydro-dissection performed with a diluted liposomal bupivacaine solution. The comparison group would have the hydro-dissection performed with a diluted bupivacaine HCL and Lidocaine solution. The postoperative pain will be compared between groups using a visual analog scale. The quality of recovery will be compared between the groups using the quality of recovery short form. Postoperative opioid consumption will be compared between the two groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Liposomal BupivacaineDrug

    Also called EXPAREL

    20 mL of Liposomal Bupivacaine (EXPAREL) will be diluted in 80 mL of injectable saline used for hydro-dissection of the vesicovaginal space and along the track of the sling trocars

  • Bupivacaine Hydrochloride and LidocaineDrug

    Also called Marcaine and Lidocaine

    Bupivacaine Hydrochloride (HCL) and Lidocaine. Fifty mL of 0.05% Marcaine and 30 mL of Lidocaine will be diluted in 100 mL of injectable saline used for hydro-dissection of the vesicovaginal space and along the track of the sling trocars during the placement of a suburethral sling.

  • Suburethral SlingProcedure or surgery

    Also called Midurethral Sling

    A retropubic, transobturator or mini-sling will be placed in the usual fashion followed by diagnostic cystoscopy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative Day 1 Pain

    Average pain rating experienced on postoperative day one using the visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm. This will be recorded by the patient prior to going to bed.

    Measured: Patient will record her average pain on postop day 1. She will return this result at her postop visit 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Second Stage PACU Postoperative Pain

    Visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm will be used to evaluate the pain score experienced upon admission to second stage PACU.

    Measured: The PACU nurse will record the patient's pain level upon admission to second stage PACU. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.

  2. Postoperative Pain Upon Discharge

    Visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm will be used to evaluate the pain score experienced upon discharge from the hospital.

    Measured: The PACU nurse will record the patient's pain level upon discharge to home. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.

  3. Postoperative Pain Four Hours After Discharge

    Visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm will be used to evaluate the pain score experienced. This will be recorded 4 hours after being discharged from the hospital.

    Measured: Record the average pain 4 hours after discharge to home. She will return this result at her postop visit 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.

  4. Night of Surgery Postoperative Pain

    Visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm will be used to evaluate the pain score experienced that day and recorded prior to going to bed on the night of surgery.

    Measured: Pt will record her average pain on the night of surgery. She will return this result at her postop visit which is approximately 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.

  5. Postoperative Days 2 through 7 Pain

    Visual analog scale (VAS) on scale of 0 to 10 cm will be used to evaluate the pain score experienced that day and recorded prior to going to bed on postop days 2-7.

    Measured: Pt will record her average pain from postop days 2-7. She will return this result at her postop visit 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.

  6. Preoperative Quality of Recovery

    Baseline Quality of Life and Recovery as measured by the ambulatory QoR15 preoperatively on the day of surgery.

    Measured: The patient will complete the questionnaire prior to surgery. This will be collected prior to surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.

  7. Postoperative Days 1, 7 and 14 Quality of Recovery

    Quality of Life and Recovery as measured by the ambulatory QoR15 on postoperative days 1, 7 and 14.

    Measured: The patient will complete the questionnaire on postop days 1, 7 & 14. She will return these results at her postop visit 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.

  8. Postoperative Narcotic Consumption

    The total amount of narcotic taken the night of surgery and each day thereafter through postoperative day seven will be recorded each night prior to going to bed.

    Measured: The patient will record narcotic consumption each day from the day of surgery to postop day 7. She will return this result at her postop visit 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative Day 1 Pain (time frame: Patient will record her average pain on postop day 1. She will return this result at her postop visit 4-6 weeks after her surgery. These results will be examined and compared at the completion of the study.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
