Summary

This study tests if a long-acting painkiller (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than a standard one (ropivacaine) for pain after upper abdominal surgery. About 146 adults having open surgery will receive one of the two drugs injected into the belly lining before the incision is closed. The main goal is to see which drug reduces pain scores and the need for extra pain medicine in the first 24 hours.
