Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The aims of the study are to compare the effectiveness and postoperative outcomes of liposomal bupivacaine vs plain bupivacaine following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The investigators' hypothesis is that liposomal bupivacaine will decrease the postoperative pain and will be associated with more favorable postoperative outcomes when compared to plain bupivacaine following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
