Abstract

Hanns-Christian et al 1 conducted a literature review with the objective of determining whether there is a difference in postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption between patients who received liposomal bupivacaine and patients who received bupivacaine hydrochloride.

The authors concluded that the beneficial effect on both postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption was small but not clinically relevant.1
