Summary
This study tested whether a longer-lasting pain medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than standard bupivacaine for controlling pain after breast surgery. 112 adults having partial mastectomy received one of the two medicines via ultrasound-guided injection. The goal was to see if the newer medicine reduces the need for opioid painkillers and lowers pain scores in the days after surgery.
