Intraperitoneal Bupivacaine for Pelvic Organ Prolapse

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of 30 mL intraperitoneal Bupivacaine without epinephrine 0.25% on postoperative pain control in patients undergoing pelvic organ prolapse repair. The investigators hypothesize that use of intraperitoneal Bupivacaine will decrease postoperative pain scores and opiate consumption in the postoperative period, following pelvic organ prolapse repair.

Primary outcomes

  1. Pain Score at 4 Hours

    Time frame: 4 hours

    Patient pain will be measured by means of a numeric rating scale (scale from 0-10 with lower numbers indicating less pain and higher numbers indicating more pain) at 4 hours after surgical pelvic organ prolapse repair

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pain Score at 8 Hours, 12 Hours and 24 Hours

    Time frame: 8 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours

    Pain scores as determined by numeric rating scale (scale from 0-10 with lower numbers indicating less pain and higher numbers indicating more pain) at approximately 8, 12 and 24 hours

  2. Total Opiate Consumption

    Time frame: First 24 hours postoperatively

    Total opiate consumption postoperatively while inpatient as determined by morphine milligram equivalents (MME)

  3. Time to First Narcotic

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours

    Time to first narcotic dose during inpatient stay

  4. Hospital Length of Stay

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours

    Hospital length of stay
