Pain Control for Undergoing Costal Cartilage Harvesting
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the injection of a long active liposomal bupivacaine product, currently approved for injection into operative sites for post-surgical pain, is an acceptable treatment for costal cartilage harvest site pain when injected into the surgical site after costal cartilage harvest in comparison to the standard treatment of 1% lidocaine with 1:100:000 of epinephrine at the surgical site.
