Abstract
Liposomal bupivacaine decreased postoperative pain scores following retropubic midurethral sling placement, though pain was low in both the intervention and placebo groups. Participants who received liposomal bupivacaine were less likely to use narcotics on postoperative day 2. For this common outpatient surgery, liposomal bupivacaine may be a beneficial addition. Given the cost of this intervention, however, future cost-effective analyses may be useful.
