Overview
Brief Summary
This phase IV trial studies how well liposomal bupivacaine with or without hydromorphone works in improving pain control during the first 24 hours after surgery in patients with gynecological malignancies undergoing laparotomy. Liposomal bupivacaine is routinely infiltrated into the skin surrounding the abdominal incision, and is effective in providing good relief of incisional pain. Hydromorphone is also a type of pain medication that may provide better management of deep abdominal pain. It is not yet known if giving liposomal bupivacaine with or without hydromorphone will work better in improving pain in patients with gynecological malignancies during the first 24 hours after surgery.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate if no additional intervention is noninferior to intrathecal analgesia (ITA) for postoperative pain experience 24 hours after surgery after laparotomy for gynecological malignancy within an established enhanced recovery pathway which includes incisional liposomal bupivacaine (ILB). II. Evaluate the effect of intrathecal analgesia on patient satisfaction with postoperative analgesia after laparotomy for gynecological malignancy. III. Report the impact of ITA use on cost. IV. Validate the Quality of Recovery (QOR)-15 in our population. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients undergo standard of care laparotomy and then receive liposomal bupivacaine. ARM II: Patients undergo standard of care laparotomy and then receive liposomal bupivacaine and hydromorphone intrathecally (IT).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Overall Benefit of Analgesia Score (OBAS)
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours after surgery
The Overall Benefit of Analgesia Score (OBAS) is a multi-dimensional survey that measures a patient's benefit from postoperative pain therapy. It assesses pain intensity, opioid-related adverse events, and patient satisfaction with analgesia. Each of 7 questions are scored on a scale from 0 to 4 where 0=minimal/not at all and 4=maximum/very much. The total score is a sum of the 7 item scores with question 7 scored as 4 minus the patient reported number. Total scores range from 0 to 28 with lower scores representing greater benefit from analgesic therapy. The median total OBAS score for each group is presented.
