Efficacy of Rectal Infiltration of Exparel for Analgesic Benefit Following Hemorrhoidectomy

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the quality and duration of pain relief after a hemorrhoidectomy, provided by locally administered liposomal bupivacaine versus bupivacaine hcl or control with saline. It is hypothesized that liposomal bupivacaine will provide more effective postoperative pain relief than both bupivacaine hcl and the control.
